Phyla Soils Services
PHYLA Soils was created to strengthen the effectiveness of scientific and technical soil expertise.
What we do differently?
WORK TOGETHER
We collaborate with commercial businesses and communities to identify and meet specific farmer needs, building advisory services that match the available financial and technical resources.
SOIL SAMPLING
We can provide low-cost and fast soil sampling, collection, and analysis to the most rural, sparse, isolated and fragmented communities.
ALGORITHMS
We design, build and test our own algorithms and soil analytics to ensure robust and precise soil measurements using research quality methods.
SHARED INCENTIVES
We identify and develop opportunities, with business and community partners to minimise the costs of generating useful soils information and ensuring soil productivity enhancements are incentivised through financial rewards.
Why Phyla Soils?
PHYLA puts the success of small-scale farmers front and central.
In Zambia, ‘ntaka’ means soil. PHYLA Soils has been operating since 2019 to create a network of community based ‘soil evangelists’ that stimulate communities to unite around soil and the regenerative agricultural practices that can sustain and grow their rural community.
