[1] The organization’s mission is to "promote the use of natural land and sea-based minerals to restore soils and forests, produce more nutritious food, and remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere”.
"[3] The authors have been lauded "for putting the term Geotherapy on the map in 2014 with the release of their book..."[4] Education and public outreach about soil remineralization's potential benefits are some of RTE's primary efforts.
The organization is currently working on science curriculum for K-12 students that includes multiple topics related to soil remineralization, such as botany, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and geology.
[6] For example, their website "posts studies that show that minerals in rock dust help reconstitute soils better than N-P-K fertilizers (which are also easily leached to groundwater and have been associated with nitrogen runoff, which may lead to toxic algal blooms).
"[7] The projects and research papers on RTE's website include a plethora of information and case studies on "reversing global desertification through agroforestry and reforestation, sequestering carbon, and stabilizing the climate.
Almost a decade prior to RTE’s conception, founder Joanna Campe was featured in Irish Independent while speaking at a Future In Our Hands (FIOH) educational conference.

[31] In 1996, RTE received multiple grants to do a two-year research project in the Pioneer Valley at the University of Massachusetts, Hampshire College, Smith Vocational High School, along with organic and conventional farmers.
[40][41] From 2016-2018, RTE partnered on a two-year research project in Bahia, Brazil, with the University of Brasília, increasing the productivity for cactus for fodder 3.88 times versus the control.
