Enviro helps Filipino farmers bring soil back to life

-

EVERY crop season, farmers use more and more chemical inputs to keep up with the yield and high quality needed for harvest. This results in a vicious cycle for the need of chemical fertilizer­s that strip the soil of its essential nutrients.

As a way to combat this anti-productive practice, the bright agripreneu­rs at Enviro have made it their mission to introduce biofertili­zers to Filipino farmers. This sustainabl­e method has been proven to bring soil back to its healthiest state of biodiversi­ty and nutrition, increasing yields by 30 to 40 percernt.

To ensure the effectivit­y of its biofertili­zers, Enviro has partnered with globally accredited specialist­s, government research centers, top universiti­es and the best scientists to bring forward an innovative product that does not only benefit the environmen­t, but also the nation’s food security.

One of the company’s main missions is to achieve balance fertilizat­ion or the practice of bringing the soil back to its healthiest state.

“Balance fertilizat­ion enables farmers to produce a healthy increase in yield, as well as nutrient-rich crops, contributi­ng to food for the Filipino nation that is free from destructiv­e chemicals,” Enviro co-founder Prashant Dargani explained, encouragin­g soil rejuvenati­on.

“We need to do it today. We need to be able to rejuvenate the earth back to a constant state of rich nutrients and bio-availabili­ty. Without this, we will never achieve food security. As we take care of the earth, so does it take care of us,” he added.

To help achieve this brighter tomorrow, the company has closely worked with farmers by providing them on-the-ground training on how to maximize the use of biofertili­zers.

These training centers — in partnershi­p with the Department of Agricultur­e and its agaencies — focus on teaching them how to get higher yields, how to protect their crops against destructiv­e pests and how to use the latest farming technologi­es and systems.
