The Agricultural Industry is at a crossroads. Farmers all the world over will be tasked with feeding a world population 50% greater than it is today, on less land, while being asked to be more sustainable in their farming practices – which often comes at a cost. They will be asked to use less water and fix the waterways that have been polluted with fertilizer runoff.
With reports that agriculture contributes almost 20% of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, farmers will be tasked with reducing those emissions.
Farmers want to be good stewards of the land: to be responsible and sustainable. But they also need to manage and reduce costs. They don’t need talk, they need solutions…….
EcoGem can add value to correct for sustainability issues in agriculture

It all begins with the soil. Yet, over the years, our soils have degraded and an increasing amount of agricultural land has been allocated
for other uses. We will have to better utilize our remaining soil to feed a population 50% larger than today – over 9 Billion people – by 2050.
- Salt and other toxins;
- Prevents crusting and compaction;
- Enhances infiltration of water and fertilizers;
- Aluminum and heavy metals below the root zone.
As drought conditions around the world increase, water will become increasingly scarce. We need solutions to decrease water usage while also preventing fertilizer runoff. Fertilizers create runoff into nearby waterways and lakes, which lead to toxic algae blooms.
EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer can create:
- A better soil structure allowing the water to infiltrate deep into the root zone, bringing the fertilizer (if used) with it.
- This means you can use less irrigation water;
- If you get heavy rains, the rainwater will permeate the soil quick enough to help prevent water/phosphorous/nitrogen runoff.
- It is this runoff that contributes to the algae blooms in our waterways and lakes.

EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer does three
things to help capture carbon and
greenhouse gasses:
- Improves the soil’s health and its organic matter activity to enable it to capture more carbon;
- Improves the plant’s health
to allow it to capture more carbon during its photosynthesis process; - Captures methane and nitrous oxide in animal farms when applied over manure.
By enhancing the capture of these
greenhouse gasses, the farmer may
be able to demonstrate increased
carbon capture and be eligible to be
paid via carbon credits.

Who doesn’t want more nutritious food? It all starts with the soil and the nutrition that is uploaded into the plant.
- The Calcium is needed to form proper cell structure in the plant;
- The sulfur is a structural component of the plant’s proteins, peptides and other enzymes and is a catalyst in chlorophyll production;
- EcoGEM Soil Enhancer has been shown to increase the upload of other nutrients as well.
As a farmer, you want good soil, a great crop, and a return on your investment – profit. Many soil amendments are a cost to the farmer.
- 3.5 – 5x cost of product
- Decreased water usage/cost
- Decreased fertilizer required/cost
- Provides the Potential to receive carbon capture payments
Organic produce is a $50 billion retail business in the USA and approaches $70 billion worldwide. It grew over 6% in 2018 and 2019. It is what consumers want as they believe organic is healthier than non-organic.
EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer is certified for organic use by OMRI. Although EcoGEM Soil Enhancer is not a fertilizer, we have seen results similar to using fertilizers on organic farms. The soil structure is improved and it becomes healthier and more sustainable. Soil that has not been treated for years responds rapidly to the Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate which:
- reduces salinity,
- prevents compaction and crusting,
- improves water infiltration to the deep root levels,
- works to improve the quality of the irrigation water.

The joy of sitting in your lawn chair with a nice cold beverage, just taking it all in – the garden, the freshly cut grass all in a straight line, the flower bed to your right, the giant oak tree to your left. Heaven could be like this.
By utilizing EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer, you can create this lawn. Our solution helps you:
- Creates a more plush and luxurious lawn as the product enhances the nutrient uptake of fertilizers and provides its own Calcium and Sulfur;
- Increases water infiltration by creating micro channels into the soil allowing water to penetrate deeper into the root zone and conserve more water in the soil. This is especially helpful when water restrictions are in place. Also, you can reduce your water usage by up to 30%.
- Allows you, the homeowner, to help the environment itself. By creating better soil and a more luxurious lawn, you can capture more carbon in your soil. You can help the planet!
A golf course or a stadium is a living breathing creation.... The beauty of which can draw a gasp or silent admiration of a job well done.
The benefits of EcoGEM’s Soil Enhancer products can help create and maintain that beauty. Recognizing the turf is a living organism, we can help you be the artist you want to be with the turf/course as your canvas: and save dollars while doing so:
- Less irrigation water required
- Better water infiltration post rainfall, less ponding
- Less fertilizer required for same results
- Healthier soil = Healthier grass
Gypsum
Gypsum is a naturally occurring calcium sulfate mineral widely recognized for its role in improving soil chemistry and physical structure. When applied to fields and landscapes, Gypsum supplies soluble calcium and sulfur, which can help flocculate dispersed clay particles, promote better root penetration, and support more efficient water infiltration. Historically, farmers have used this mineral for generations, much like early agricultural communities that adapted traditional soil practices as farming expanded across major river valleys and transportation routes.
Modern agronomy continues to refine how Gypsum is applied, focusing on targeted rates, timing, and particle size to match specific soil conditions. Research-based use of this amendment can contribute to stable aggregate formation, reduced crusting, and improved nutrient availability, especially in intensively managed cropping systems. Its neutral pH makes it suitable for a range of soils where enhanced physical properties are desired without significantly altering soil acidity.

Gypsum For Soil
For growers and land managers, Gypsum for Soil provides a targeted way to address compaction, crusting, and imbalanced calcium-to-magnesium ratios. By delivering readily available calcium, Gypsum for Soil helps create more stable soil aggregates, which can reduce surface sealing and encourage deeper rooting. These changes support consistent emergence and stand establishment for crops, lawns, and managed landscapes.
In regions that experience seasonal heavy rains and intermittent drought, Gypsum for Soil can assist with both drainage and moisture retention by improving pore continuity and reducing excessive sodium levels. This adjustment may help fields, gardens, and turf areas respond more predictably to shifting weather patterns, allowing producers and property owners to plan irrigation and field traffic with greater confidence.

Agricultural Gypsum
Consistent crop performance often depends on stable soil structure, and Agricultural Gypsum is frequently used to support that objective. By supplying calcium in a sulfate form, Agricultural Gypsum can help displace excess sodium on clay particles, improving aggregation and reducing dispersion during irrigation or rainfall events. This process encourages better infiltration and can limit runoff, which is critical for long-term field productivity.
Producers using Agricultural Gypsum are often advised to evaluate soil tests regularly and adjust application rates according to texture, cation balance, and crop rotation. A practical tip is to monitor infiltration after significant rain or irrigation; improved water movement and reduced ponding may indicate that gypsum-based amendments are contributing effectively to soil health and operational reliability.
