Remineralize the Earth (RTE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Northampton, Massachusetts, and founded in 1995 by Joanna Campe. The organization’s mission is to "promote the use of natural land and sea-based minerals to restore soils and forests, produce more nutritious food, and remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere”. RTE’s vision is to overcome desertification, increase food security by increasing the yields and nutritional values of food grown in healthy soils, and stabilize the climate by amending soils and forests across the globe with readily available and finely ground silicate rock dust and sea minerals.

  • Remineralize the Earth (RTE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Northampton, Massachusetts, and founded in 1995 by Joanna Campe. The organization’s mission is to "promote the use of natural land and sea-based minerals to restore soils and forests, produce more nutritious food, and remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere”. RTE’s vision is to overcome desertification, increase food security by increasing the yields and nutritional values of food grown in healthy soils, and stabilize the climate by amending soils and forests across the globe with readily available and finely ground silicate rock dust and sea minerals. RTE Director Thomas J. Goreau, and RTE founder Joanna Campe, along with Ronal W. Larson, published the book Geotherapy: Innovative Methods of Soil Fertility Restoration, Carbon Sequestration, and Reversing CO2 Increase in 2015, which has been described as "an authoritative guide to some of the most cutting edge methods for soil focused geotherapy." The authors have been lauded "for putting the term Geotherapy on the map in 2014 with the release of their book..." Education and public outreach about soil remineralization's potential benefits are some of RTE's primary efforts. The organization is currently working on science curriculum for K-12 students that includes multiple topics related to soil remineralization, such as botany, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and geology. The curriculum draws from information compiled on the organization's website, which contains the only research database dedicated to soil remineralization and related projects around the world. For example, their website "posts studies that show that minerals in rock dust help reconstitute soils better than N-P-K fertilizers (which are also easily leached to groundwater and have been associated with nitrogen runoff, which may lead to toxic algal blooms)." The projects and research papers on RTE's website include a plethora of information and case studies on "reversing global desertification through agroforestry and reforestation, sequestering carbon, and stabilizing the climate." RTE has partnered with the University of Brasilia on an agricultural remineralization project and the University of Massachusetts Amherst on researching combinations of biochar and rock dust for use in agriculture.
