The Healthy Soils Movement by Kokkoya supports farmers across Myanmar to rebuild soil life, track change, and share knowledge for a regenerative future.
Across Myanmar, farmers are testing their soils each month; digging, counting, observing, and sharing what they find. Together, they form the Healthy Soils Movement: a growing network learning how to restore the land from the ground up.
The Healthy Soils Dashboard brings their journey to life. It shows real changes happening in real fields such as the return of earthworms, better water holding and stronger root systems. Each update reflects the care and curiosity of the farmers leading the way toward regeneration.
Healthy soil starts with healthy inputs. Across Myanmar, small producers are making compost, biochar, ferments, and other natural amendments that nourish the land. Through our Organic Input Mapping project, we’re bringing their work into view, creating a shared map of where these producers are, what they make, and how they’re helping farmers transition to regenerative agriculture.
Many of the farmers in our pilot we have worked with for years but some are new, recommended to us through others. One of these new farmers is Thant Zaw and even without us, Thant Zaw could start a movement. His enthusiasm is infectious and even more importantly, he is seeing results.
Ma Hnin Nwe Soe is impressive. When she isn't farming, she works at Golden Ground, a local agriculture collective based in Pindaya, Shan State. In her work there she coordinates organic training to local farmers; manages crop sales from a farmer collective and supports aid to farmers recovering from natural disaster. Her work is a living example of soil and community regeneration.
Regenerative farming strategies are built on the understanding that soil biology is key to healthy crops. So finding worms is a good sign. They are the ultimate soil builders, with their castings acting as perfect fertiliser.
