Oath

All life depends on healthy soil

Oath replenishes the microbiome of degraded soil to restore it back to health.

Today, our soil is in deep trouble

Around half of the world’s topsoil is degraded or eroded, and UNESCO warns that by 2050, 90% will be at risk. Most soils lack the organic material needed for healthy plant growth, and are deteriorating rapidly.

Oath is on a mission to change that by rapidly reviving soil to restore its natural functions.

The life-critical processes we depend on are happening right under our feet.

Biodiverse microbial communities improve soil structure, increase its water holding capacity, and make nutrients more accessible to plants.

Carbon Cycle

Healthy soil ecosystems enhance the carbon cycle, which transforms CO₂ from a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere to carbon in the soil -- a key building block of life.

Water Conservation

A healthy soil microbiome helps stimulate the secretion of gel-like Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS), which help stabilize soil structure, preventing soil erosion and water loss through evaporation and runoff.

Nutrient Cycle

Microbial life is responsible for breaking down organic matter into essential nutrients that roots must absorb to ensure plant health and vitality.

Restoring the nutrient and carbon cycles helps keep trees and plants strong, resilient, and abundant—all while drawing down enough atmospheric CO₂ for the climate to recover.

Soil is the forgotten hero

Healthy soil is the basis for life; restoring soil to health has a huge impact.

Food Security

Nutrient-rich soil feeds plants, which increases yield and the nutrient density of fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Biodiversity

Ecosystem stability relies on healthy soil, from microorganisms to plants, insects, wildlife, and humans.

Resiliency

A healthy microbiome enhances plant resilience against drought, fires, extreme weather, and other threats.

Prosperity

Improved yield, lower input costs, and carbon removal credits increase farm revenue, especially for the millions of smallholder farms.

Climate Recovery

A replenished soil microbiome has the potential to sequester more carbon than depleted soil and allows landowners to avoid synthetic nitrogen fertilizers that emit nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas almost 300 times more potent than CO₂.
