Description

An international NGO that networks information and research on soil remineralization to gardeners, farmers, ecological activists, scientists, policy makers and the aggregate and stone producers whose by-product is a source of remineralization; to promote further research and projects, from small to large, cooperative to businesses that would benefit and create a healthier environment.

Joanna is very passionate, and it shines in her coordination of volunteers, research, and other organizations. I have been volunteering with RTE for only five months and have learned much from this experience. RTE is fantastic to work with, and their mission is worth helping.
