Calcium plays an integral role in soil and plant health; strengthening a plant’s cell walls, protecting against diseases, and playing a crucial role in soil structure. Despite these benefits, it is often overlooked by the agriculture industry.

- Trends in agriculture
- The impact of soil health on crop’s nutrient value
