Bryan McLeod – Consultancy
For over 36 years I have worked across many countries, helping farmers, growers, and communities understand their soils, crops, and livestock.
My approach is simple: work backwards from the problem to identify the true foundation of what’s going wrong. One of my teachers, Dr. Bob Scott of Minneapolis, USA, always said: “Find the root of the problem, solve that, and the rest will fall into place.” I follow the same principle—keep it simple, work alongside the client, and achieve results together.
International Experience
Countries I have worked in directly include:
Countries I have provided soil reports or assessments for include:
My key expertise includes:
Soil Science & The Albrecht Model
Using the Albrecht model for soil analysis, I can quickly identify both the strengths and limitations of any soil. Over the years, I have worked with researchers and research centres and, in many cases, helped them outperform their own local trials. This does not mean their work was failing—only that with additional information and balanced nutrition, we were able to achieve more together.
In today’s world, much research focuses on increasing food production through genetics—which is fantastic work. However, we already have the knowledge to increase yields by up to 30% right now through soil and nutritional balance alone. Another concern is that plant breeding often focuses on yield, not nutritional value.
