Soil
For almost all organic growers like Emerald Acres, using a good compost is the key to success. Although for some compost is just a pile of dirt, most experts would agree that the unique composting technology available today trully helps to address the worlds’ biggest environmental and agricultural problems, such as soil degradation, climate change through increased carbon dioxide emissions, the excessive use of water and the increasing amount of waste.
compost
The compost is made using unwanted and superfluous waste plant and animal material characteristic for the country where the product is being produced. The unique composting technology is UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) approved and not only transforms this “waste” into high quality compost ready for use within 8-10 weeks, but also helps to avoid methane emissions. Compost guarantees fruit and vegetable production of high quality whilst also:
Recycling waste products
Improving the soil structure, providing better soil fertility
Suppressing diseases, providing plants and soil with important nutrient
Increasing pest tolerance
Gradually bringing back the natural balance of the eco-system
Reducing water usage through improvement of water holding capacity by 50%
Creating employment and economic development
Reducing (ground)water pollution
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions, thus making a significant contribution to the protection of the environment.
