PLOUGHING BACK INTO AGRICULTURE

Suitable organic wastes from industry and municipal services are treated and spread onto agricultural fields to partly replace inorganic fertilisers.

This helps farmers reduce their costs and their reliance on inorganic fertilisers, which contain large amounts of nitrogen (energy intensive to manufacture) and phosphate (a non-renewable resource).

Maintaining sustainable agricultural production is dependent on ensuring the long-term fertility and quality of our soils in which compost plays a vital role.
