Mission Statement


To transform soil complexity into clear, actionable strategies that restore function, improve resilience, and optimise productivity. Through advanced diagnostics, microbial innovation, and regenerative system design, 59 Degrees empowers land managers to build sustainable results from the ground up.

About 59 Degrees


At 59 Degrees, soil is approached as a living, interrelated system—where chemistry, physics, and biology must align for true regeneration to occur. Our focus lies in bridging science and practice to address critical bottlenecks such as compaction, imbalance, and biological decline.

Founded in Sweden by agricultural consultant and soil scientist Josef Winter, 59 Degrees integrates advanced diagnostics, regenerative system design, and microbial biofertiliser innovation to deliver measurable improvements in soil function and productivity. Our approach combines the rigour of the Albrecht model with field-validated microbiological practices, bringing together robust analysis and practical implementation.

Working across the Nordics, UK, and Baltics, we design solutions that connect science to workflow—creating systems that are both resilient and manageable. From tailored mineral balancing and data-driven soil reports to site-specific microbial and amendment strategies, 59 Degrees equips land managers with the tools and understanding to accelerate regeneration and reduce long-term inputs.

59 Degrees—Restoring soil, through science-based regeneration.
