Jargon & Fragmented Advice

Above-Ground Focus—Neglected Soil

Lacking Partnership & Support

Confusing jargon leaves you guessing. Success isn’t a guessing game—it’s measured and grounded. We guide you through the jargon minefield with clear, actionable insight.

Focus often lands on design, while vital groundwork is ignored. Skipping soil preparation leaves your entire investment exposed—primed for preventable failure. We make sure your foundation is as strong as your vision.

Most consultancies drop a report and disappear—leaving you stranded with generic advice and no backup. Real success needs ongoing support, troubleshooting, and partnership every step of the way. We’re with you, long-term, for results that last.

"Science is a method, not the final authority. True progress is rooted in wisdom, guided by common sense, and measured by ecological soundness. Every decision should keep these at its core".

Josef Winter founder 59degrees

Rich, thriving soils emerge from the continuous exchange between a living, dynamic subsurface and an abundance of plant and animal life above. In practice, when confronting new projects or solving tough problems, it’s tempting to compartmentalise information—yet this often reduces complex realities to abstract fragments, divorced from their ecological context. After more than twenty-five years working within living systems, this is a lesson I’ve learned first-hand.

So how do we move from symptoms to sound management decisions? That’s precisely where my work is focused: understanding and harnessing the intricate ecology underpinning true landscape resilience.

Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how outdated approaches and poor soil management sabotage even the best-intentioned plans. That experience led me to found 59degrees: a practice built on integrating field-tested solutions and cutting-edge research in microbiology, soil biology, and plant-soil science. My goal is simple—translate deep, holistic ecological principles into practical strategies that solve real-world challenges for municipalities, farmers and landscape professionals.

At 59degrees, collaboration and clarity are at the core. I partner with clients to restore soil life crossing over numerous disciplines to improve plant health, and build resilient landscapes that stand the test of time.

If you value science-based results and support you can count on, let’s work together to revitalise your soil, your crops and your projects—from the ground up.
