What can you say, when you realise that soluble synthetic minerals are the cause of toxic nutrient leaching into the environment? You can say: ‘Ban all soluble, synthetic, toxic minerals!’

The farmers are being blamed for this problem. As nutrient leaching has become a risk to the viability of farming, we cannot blame the farmers. But unfortunately we seem to be on a chemical treadmill, which is not working for our sustainability, the environment, our animals or people. The only ones benefiting are the chemical companies.

With the consumer calling for safe, certified, nutritiously-dense food, New Zealand producers are in a position to grab this great opportunity with both hands. Our isolation alone is a contributing factor along with great sunshine hours, the ability to store water and top soils that still have some carbon in them.

Agrissentials BioGro certified fertilisers re-mineralise the soil, increase top soil depth and soil water retention, increase worm populations in the soil and increase the health of all life in and above the soil. Here is an opportunity to change direction.
