Healthy soil is the foundation
to lasting peace and prosperity.
The Consortium for Explosive Remediation & Agricultural Development
Post-conflict food security and climate resiliency depend on healthy farms, made possible by healthy demining and soil restoration practices.
CERAD is a community which combines the knowledge, effort, and commitment of bomb technicians, scientists, farmers, and humanitarians to tackle complex challenges to restoring our most important resources.
A Complex and Dangerous Challenge
The use of explosive munitions in warfare causes tremendous harm to infrastructure, communities, and the environment. Clearing land of dangerous explosive hazards is only the first step in restoration.

A Community Effort
By connecting practitioners in the field of demining and explosive ordnance disposal, farmers, and soil scientists and other researchers, the CERAD community seeks to design and implement new methods of soil remediation for more successful interventions.
Read about the recent fieldwork by CERAD researchers in Ukraine which was a critical first step in building successful programs.
