Radice Soil Solutions Shortlisted for Falling Walls 2025

We’re proud to announce that Radice Soil Solutions has been shortlisted for Falling Walls Science Breakthroughs 2025, selected from over 250 international applications. This global recognition honours our contribution to advancing knowledge and public engagement around soil biology, biodiversity, and ecosystem restoration in Aotearoa New Zealand.

It’s a powerful moment for us—and for everyone who believes that healthy soil is key to healthy food, clean water, climate resilience, and thriving communities.

About Falling Walls

Falling Walls is an international platform that celebrates breakthrough thinking across science, sustainability, and social innovation. Held every November in Berlin, the event brings together leading minds from across the globe to answer one compelling question:

“Which are the next walls to fall?”

Being shortlisted puts our work in the spotlight alongside researchers and innovators working on the front lines of global change. It’s a chance to elevate the story of Aotearoa’s soil—its life, its potential, and its connection to people and place.

Why This Matters

At Radice, we work to restore the microbiological life of soil, integrate mātauranga Māori and agroecology, and support growers and landowners with practical, regenerative strategies. From native plant survival to nutrient cycling and water resilience, our work shows that soil is not just a medium—it’s a living foundation for the future.

This international recognition reinforces why it’s so important to:

• Shine a light on soil biodiversity as a driver of ecological regeneration.

• Support science communication and education that empowers people to take action.

• Share community-led solutions that reconnect us to the whenua and support long-term environmental resilience.
