Opis

Smartcultures provide a set novel of regenerative technologies that mimic nature to provide enhanced foundation (soil structure) and nutrients for crops. Plants thrive in amended soils; they grow faster, stronger and reverse nutrition dilution, empty calories, with more nutrition per bite. Regenerated soils enhance color, taste, texture and yields. Algae biofertilizers carry bioavailable nutrients that may be delivered in precise amounts at specific times during each crop's growing cycle. Smartcultures support sustainable crop production by cultivating nature's nanotechnology - algae and microbial communities - to build soils, feed crops and reduce pollution and erosion. Growers use the natural power of microflora in place of synthetic agricultural chemicals and are rewarded with superior nutrition in their produce and regenerated soil. Growers use 360 microfarms near their fields to cultivate microorganisms such as algae, which they grow and flow to feed their crops. Growers transform a cost, their waste stream, to a profit center while reducing ecological pollution up to 90%. Microfarmers practice abundant agriculture as they produce nutrient-rich food, feed, fertilizer and other forms of energy using primarily plentiful, non-fossil resources that are free or surplus and will not run out - sunshine, CO2 and wastewater.
