About

At 59degrees, we help transform landscapes, projects, and communities through unified, actionable soil science. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of your soils by blending classical wisdom with advanced microbiological innovation—delivering practical strategies that work in real-world conditions.

Our Mission

• Municipal Urban Planners — Overcoming compaction, pollution and plant stress in city environments with easy-to-apply frameworks

• Farm Managers & Agronomists — Translating complex science into field-proven regenerative techniques that boost yields and resilience

• Landscape Architects & Designers — Demystifying soil amendments with visual guides, case studies, and real-world recommendations

• Higher Education — Equipping students and researchers with comprehensive toolkits and holistic ecological frameworks

Science is a method, not dogma. True progress is anchored in wisdom, guided by common sense, and measured by ecological soundness. After more than 25 years working with living systems, we know that thriving soils emerge from the exchange between dynamic subsurfaces and abundant plant/animal life above.

Josef Winter: After witnessing outdated approaches sabotage even the most passionate projects, I founded 59degrees to deliver lasting solutions. My aim is to translate deep ecological principles into strategies municipalities, farmers, and professionals can use today—for healthier landscapes and profitable businesses.

We believe managing plant-soil systems requires more than textbook answers—it demands a multidimensional approach. With decades of hands-on experience, we specialize in bridging traditional agronomy and cutting-edge soil biology to create stable, resilient landscapes.
