Why ”Soilfood”?

Everyone understands, everyone has feelings to FOOD = we want to talk to the big audience also. To connect the consumer and producer: Baltic Sea friendly and climat friendly food production concerns everyone. Not just the farmer.

If you want to reduce emissions to the Baltic Sea, reverse the Climate change AND increase the yelds, you must focus on the SOIL.

SOILFOOD WEB:

Why ”Soilfood”?

• BSAG Foundation proposed 2010 a commitment to the state: ”Finland aims to be a pilot country of nutrient recycling”

• BSAG’s input to the EU circular economy strategy: nutrients also included!

• SOILFOOD founded 2015 to speed up the sustainable solutions – practical paradigm shift

• Two pilot farms for non-emission production, carbon farming, animal welfare and biodiversity

Nutrient recycling tools

understands soil chemistry to build/correct the soil's physical structure to create conditions for the biology to be at it’s best level.

A professional Farmer

ORGANIC MATTER, HUMUS

MICROBES AND THE EFFIENCY OF NUTRIENT UPTAKE

How to get better crops? How to reach an ideal level of productivity and quality - in terms of the soil and the crops grown on each soil to be more cost effective? How to develop my professional skills to match future challenges?

We combine our expertise with the Farmer’s knowhow. An accurate soil analysis is vital to understanding your soil. We use top quality laboratory analyses and help you to understand how to correct and raise the overall soil fertility - to improve and maintain yields and/or crop quality.

We give you a recipe.

Longterm partnership and support; Each year the Farmer sees greater and greater benefits, as the soil and soilfood web gets better.

Concept in short

CROP ROTATION MODEL IMPLEMENTED

Soilfood just launched a significant Nutrient recycling deal with bioenergy company Gasum(Friday 15.4.2016)

Later the tailored& recycled fertilizer system will be applied for manure – the biggest mass

(20 000 000m3)

Optimizing fertilizers:

• Patented ”recipe” (N-C optimal for microbes)• According to soil analysis, slurry (by-product or manure) will

be matched to meet the needs of soil: N, P, K and other macro and micronutrients added if needed = balanced, recycled fertilizer

• Always lower price than artifial fertilizers• Local nutrient recycling• Really simple idea, but still we are the first ones to implement

this in Europe

-> Agriculture & fertilization needs a paradigm shift

• Part one: Laboratory tests and field tests (fertilizers, soil improvement matters, biostimulants)

• Part two: microbe sequencing, emphasis on the nutrients and carbon

• Not only the soil, but the soil and plant co-operation

• Also in projects about education the farmers, learning by doing –holistic soil management (OSMO)

• Will apply for ”Kärkihanke” in order to speed up the necessary actions
