ROSS THOMPSON
Ross Thompson spent 42 years on a mixed-farming property on the Gwydir River at Gravesend. He now lives on the Gold Coast sugar cane lands.
Since 1966, as a farmer Ross had always been involved with the Farmers Organisations and during the 1990 Farmers Conference in Sydney he moved the motion that initiated the introduction of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) throughout Australia. Ross understood that he had to take action – as he said: ‘This led me to believe that if something needs to be done, you have to do it yourself.’
Ross started using synthetic fertilisers from 1967 and then started using the selective weedicide (24D) from 1968. Over the next 20 years farmers found that within the farming industry they had to increase the application rates of synthetic fertilisers every year. As time went on, more selective weedicides were being introduced into Australia, and as farmers we always seemed to be ‘killing something.’ The NITRATE fertilisers were killing the biology of the soil, and the weedicides were not only killing the weeds, but everything microbial as well.
From 1968 and over the following 20 years as farmers, we noticed that the small birds were disappearing in their thousands. The larger birds would survive whereas all small birds were dying out. Numerous species of birds disappeared throughout the region. They including canaries, finches, sparrows, wrens, pee wees, budgerigars and small parrots.
During 1988 Ross decided to stop using chemical farming practices and re-establish native pastures on his farming land. This regeneration took approximately 2 decades. During that time, he started thinking about how to speed up the restoration of soil biology. This is what led to the development of RegenBiosoil.
Participantory Guarantee System
PGS – Participatory Guarantee Systems
All your essential food could be marketed through PGS as most will be consumed fresh and raw. A Participatory Guarantee System is an agreement between 2 people or a small group of people, all involved in the agreement audit each other and is based on trust. This is happening throughout the world, including Australia. It is a Written Agreement between all involved and it is not a contract and does not require certification from a semi-government authority. Landscape suppliers, Nurseries and Large Retailers would require certification of RegenBiosoil products and produce. They will have to negotiate with the semi-government certifiers. Never think that PGS is an unorganised sector. By participating you are part of small groups worldwide that provide multilingual knowledge that prioritise the nurturing of our soils and it is free.
In Australia if trading an ABN is required, however PGS throughout the world operate bureaucracy free. As you are responsible for the auditing, local government inspectors are not required, make sure your future counsellors are PGS friendly.
The way to prevent yourself from forms of illness, is to know the health status of the topsoils where your essential foods are produced. As a purchaser PGS enables you to regularly inspect (Audit) the RegenBiosoil growing and packaging sites, this ensures those involved are complying with the Written Agreement.
Regional producers of RegenBiosoil or composted vegetation, whether bulk or bagged could have a PGS with an urban based distributer, then the distributer could have a PGS with a number of urban residences and unit dwellers.
In Australia there is a large space in the market for everything that has a functional health value. Throughout Asia PGS Open Days are held to bring producers and customers together. Regional producers should not be disadvantaged as all chiller trucks that deliver to regional areas would appreciate backloading of produce.
Productivity vs Consumption
Consumption spending by big Governments will have a devastating effect on everyone. Inflation and taxes will erode our standard of living. Now is the time to become part of the Productive Sector and take control of your health at the same time. RegenBiosoil will possibly enable more people to become part of the Productive Sector, especially the younger generation. Selling your surpluses of snap frozen microgreens could possibly provide security, we all may need produce to barter or trade with. Expansion could provide you with all the security you will ever need, the security that we had in our past, might not be available to us in the near or far future.
Australia, NZ, USA and the UK all follow similar agricultural practices
Here we are in the 2020’s with a large number of terminal health problems and everyone is affected. Soil scientists and health professionals from all around the world are stating that we must now introduce Regenerative practices to our food producing soils. With RegenBiosoil our food becomes healthier with each future harvest as times goes by. This is opposite to what we have done to our soil over the last 100 years, especially the last sixty years. Our food producing soils are now said to be confused, contaminated and exhausted. This soil exhaustion leads to the detriment of each harvest that follows.
Viability
RegenBiosoil is a practical guide that shows you how you can viably apply Regenerative Practices to your food producing topsoils. Viable is the key word. It does take time and effort, however once established any 9 year old or 90 year old is capable of being involved. Much of the effort is in the growing whether indoors under LED lighting or outside, much more of your time will be in the kitchen with normal food preparation, snap freezing or fermenting. There are very good Biodynamic/ Organic producers who are viable, however they have to rely on the existing retail trade to reach the majority, this results in longer shelf life produce and costs. The DIY aspects of RegenBiosoil, Distributers, Purchasers and PGS where all involved audit [inspect] each other will ensure future viability. There is every possibility that RegenBiosoil will lead to a statement like: ‘You won’t be able to afford to risk purchasing conventionally grown food’.
Today participatory guarantee systems are an alternative marketing strategy for our essential food.
CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, PGS MARKETING IN CONNECTION WITH REGENBIOSOIL COULD POSSIBLY BECOME THE FORM OR MARKETING OF OUR ESSENTIAL FOODS.
IT IS VIABLE AND ALSO ALL YOUR FOOD AND BEVERAGES WILL BE 100% PRESERVATIVE FREE.
The reason why no one talks about PGS, is because so many people have a vested interest in you not knowing about it. It is never mentioned in our education institutions which it should be. For everyone who considers themselves “The younger generation” should seek knowledge of PGS, and the many ways it can be applied to their lives.
-
PGS enables the direct participation of producers, consumers and distributors
-
All involved are responsible for the inspection of the production chain
-
Certification procedures are to ensure compliance to the ‘WRITTEN AGREEMENT’.
-
Paperwork is required for all produce detailing everything from soil to sale of produce.
-
Similar to organic inspections can be made by consumers at any time.
IS REGENBIOSOIL ABOVE THE REQUIRED STANDARDS OF ORGANIC- BIODYNAMIC PRODUCE
I have been a member of both the Organic and Biodynamic organisation for the most part of my life. It is good to be a member of these groups whether you intend to become a certified producer or not. My experience as a certified biodynamic producer led me to develop RegenBiosoil.
BAA – Biodynamic Agriculture Australia LTD provided me with an understanding of all the natural processes that have to come together in order to produce healthy foods. Now living in the city of the Gold Coast I realised this natural soil-produced food has to be made available to urban dwellers.
Please see the section Participatory Guarantee systems PGS as you will see the standards and compliance involve both the consumer as the producer. If all involved in the group set the standard above Organic-Biodynamic then it will remain that way. If they compromise their own standard requirements then it may be less.
The Original International Protocols for the production of pure food (Geneva) have now been compromised by a large number of states and countries. Bureaucracies have compromised the standards to satisfy commercial vested interests. PGS and RegenBiosoil will always remain Bureaucracy free, due to the fact that all involved in the groups will set the standard and be involved in the inspections and compliance.

RegenBioSoil Resources, Today’s Human Health Crisis and Future Change
The webpages below on RegenBioSoil Resources, by the many Natural Health Professionals and those involved in Soil Science, provide us with updated Soil, Nutritional and Functional Medicines advice for today’s and future health crisis. This advice can be applied to your lives from the day it is released when you are involved with RegenBiosoil. See webpages below.
In brief, what you will find.
In the last 100 years the food chain has Denatured our Essential Foods. We know we must change, we hope that RegenBiosoil will inspire you to make that change. Nature will guide you and it is a good idea to join one of the many Regenerative/organics groups. When making the decision to start, be mindful that the foods we consume as we grow older have to be healthier and fresher.
We hope you now have enough information to commence regenerating your foods topsoil. We will eventually have two YouTube video clips available. You will see at the end of this article where you can contribute towards the promotion of RegenBiosoil, this would be appreciated as we are individuals not a corporation, we just wish to get this to everyone whom possibly needs it.
First Video Clip will be for urban residential living. It will further explain RegenBiosoil and PGS marketing. It will demonstrate what is hard to explain in words, and also have information for the RegenBiosoil produce purchaser.
Second Video Clip will be for all farmers and livestock producers. It will further explain scaled up production of liquid compost and Regenigation. It is only natural that you will be using Bunkers and Windrows for your composting. Over the next 12 months we will be having 2 trials. One will be with Sugar Cane production on the northern Gold Coast, 500kg of fertiliser is used per Hectare, we aim to find out how much Liquid compost is required to achieve the same production. The second trial will be with the production of cattle fodder 10 kl west of Gravesend on the Gwydir River, it will be with dry land fodder production as well as Flood Regenigation.
COMPOSITION OF REGENBIOSOIL
This start-up composition is simply a good guide as updated information is gathered and experience becomes available, change is inevitable.
The quality of the composting vegetation is always important. Tree branches and leaves are said to be the best, however all forms of vegetation can be utilised if they are nearby.
When sourcing forms of vegetation for composting make sure that it has not been sprayed with pesticides or weedicides. Environmental toxins can be traced in vegetation however the composting process can mostly eliminate them.
Council often will supply you with a lot of chipped green waste, often free. Also tree loppers will deliver to you, if you are nearby it may be free, otherwise they have to pay to take it to a landfill.
The Natra-Min is an example of Known Minerals and the Soft Rock is a Micro-Mineral/Nutrient compound. Known minerals are available from rural garden or hardware supplies.
Micro-Mineral/Nutrient compounds may be harder to source. Soft Rock is available from most rural and garden supplies. Micro-Mineral/Nutrient compounds are available from the internet or ask your garden suppliers to source them for you.

SOIL WITH A GOOD CLAY CONTENT IS DIFFICULT TO PURCHASE.
It has to be weed free and not sprayed with chemicals for 5 years or preferably newer. There is possibly a good market for regional farmers to supply virgin clay soil either bulk or bagged to the city.
BY-PRODUCTS AND MANURES have been sold as natural and organic fertilisers over the last 40 years. There has been and there will always be the risk of harmful pathogens passing through our leafy greens to us and causing outbreaks of food poisoning. They have proved to be an average substitute compared to well composted soil.
Manures can be added to your RegenBiosoil only if you are confident with the composting temperature achieve. Worm castings and worm juice can always be added.
Over the last 20 years I have heard many farmers say that regenerative agriculture has no place in broad-acre farming. I think I can remember myself saying the same. We all have to face up to the truth that synthetic fertilisers are at the top of the list of causes towards the health crisis in Australia and countries who follow similar agricultural practices.
I can say one statement based on my experiences and that is:
‘The way to Regenerate our FOOD PRODUCING TOPSOILS will be with regular applications of concentrated liquid compost injection”.
Equipment is already available for moisture injection/application and for most farmers tined implements can be adapted suitable for liquid compost injection.
COMPOSTED VEGETATION TO LIQUID COMPOST
Liquid Compost is totally different to Compost Tea, also it is very different to hydroponic compost which in some countries can be certified as organic.
The nutrient availability to the soil is in proportion to the amount of composted vegetation that has been diffused into liquid compost. For home and market gardeners 15 Kg of well composted vegetation can be diffused into 800 litres of water. Fermentation is maintained until it is watered onto plants or injected into soil.
For lifestyle and broad acre farmers they would be diffusing well composted vegetation into a pumpable slurry. Fermentation is maintained until it is injected into the soil.
There is every possibility that pumpable liquid compost slurry will become one of the major Regenerative Practices introduced as the foundation for the future food chain.
One statement we all can make is that “the day is getting closer to when the consumer will only purchase produce from the well composted soil”. Also rural land values could be based on the number of Regenerative Practices introduced over time.
At this diffusion stage the Known Minerals and the Micro Mineral/Nutrient Compounds are added – see the introduction (Composition of RegenBiosoil).
RegenBiosoil is the only form of agriculture that attempts to address the problems associated with our Micro Mineral/Nutrient deficiencies.
The Ending
Quote from the Organic Consumer’s Association 1st December 2021:
“We face multiple crises: mad science, engineered bioweapons disguised as biomedical or biodefense, pesticides, herbicides, GMO’s, soil degradation, species extinction, air and water pollution, climate instability, the proliferation of nutrient-deficient junk food.”
To better understand the statement above please refer to the writing and YouTube videos from Dr Zach Bush and Dr Vandana Shiva. They speak about the confusion within humanity and how it is in direct proportion to our soil degradation.
With reference to the above from the Organic Consumer’s Association, corruption and greed are said to be placing humanity at risk in many parts of the world.
RegenBiosoil can enable you to affordably survive outside the systems which created the above.
We can all be surprised by the SPEED and EASE that RegenBiosoil enables us to be consuming our essential foods that are grown in the soil based on nature and take control of our health at the same time.
