The creation of a more fertile soil by reintroducing a rich variety of minerals to the soil as happens naturally during, for example, Ice Ages and volcanic eruptions. Soil remineralization is distinct from conventional chemical fertilization, which involves the manufacture and spreading of manufactured materials typically high in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (“NPK”) together with secondary minerals (calcium, sulfur, and magnesium).

Not all the claims of soil remineralization advocates have yet been accepted by the scientific community and it remains a controversial subject; however, the potential benefits of this natural means of replenishing soil fertility, including greatly improved agricultural productivity and carbon sequestration, suggest that much more research is warranted.
