The aim of this pilot project is to give local farmers access to affordable, high-quality feed for their chickens or fish ponds and organic fertilizer for their farms. At the same time, the environmental impact is reduced through waste recycling. ❌ 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀' 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Rising feed prices  Limited access to quality feed  Dependence on imports ❌ 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱: High costs  Environmental damage (e.g. fishmeal, soy) Deforestation & Overfishing ✔️ 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Reduces emissions  Efficient resource use  Supports biodiversity ✔️ 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀: Livestock feed and organic fertilizer 🐔 Affordable options for farmers 👨🌾 Circular economy in action ♻️ Stay tuned for more updates on this project.

🌱🌽🌾 Did you know? #Brazil stands as a powerhouse in agricultural production, leading the charge in #soja, #corn, and #cotton output! With its vast and fertile lands, Brazil has solidified its position as a key player in the global agricultural market, consistently ranking among the top producers of these essential crops. But beyond the numbers, it's crucial to recognize the importance of sustainable farming practices in maintaining and even increasing these outputs. Today, I had the privilege of meeting with some of Brazil's leading farmers. These individuals are the unsung heroes who not only feed the world but also champion sustainable farming methods, all while battling the challenges of climate change. Let's support these dedicated individuals who are not just cultivating crops, but also cultivating a brighter, more sustainable future for us all. Thanks to Bayer for this opportunity. 🌍🚜 #BrazilAgriculture #SustainableFarming #ClimateAction #FeedTheWorld Sistema CNA Senar Embrapa Soybean Embrapa Meio Ambiente

At The Arnott’s Group, our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in every aspect of our operations, including how we source our ingredients. We're delighted to highlight our partnership with Allied Pinnacle who play a crucial role in supporting us and growers. Our partnership focuses on working with Australian soft wheat farmers to adopt sustainable and low-emission farming practices. In 2022, we made significant strides by working alongside 10 soft wheat growers. This effort covered 46 paddocks and 1417 hectares, gathering crucial data on farming emissions. Our joint effort with Allied Pinnacle extends beyond sourcing. We're committed to supporting growers trial innovative farming practices, like using slow-release urea fertilizers. These practices aim to improve soil health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, without impacting crop yield. Our partnership is a testament to our belief that collective action is crucial to drive positive environmental change. It also enables us to continue sharing delicious moments with consumers across the world.

It’s throwback Thursday, we're excited to reflect on our vegetable farming project, where we utilized Black Soldier Fly (BSF) frass as a natural, organic fertilizer. The use of Frass did not only nourished our crops but also promoted healthy soil, contributing to higher yields and improved sustainability. It is nutrient-rich, and packed with essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it perfect for thriving vegetable growth. Also, it is eco-friendly, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers and significantly reducing environmental impact. Additionally, it promotes soil health by encouraging beneficial microorganisms that improve soil structure and fertility. We’re proud to be part of the movement toward organic, sustainable agriculture, proving that nature’s solutions are often the most effective. #ThrowbackThursday #OrganicFarming #BSFFrass #SustainableAgriculture #HealthySoil #GreenFarming #Entojutu

GREEN AGRICULTURE = WAVE OF FUTURE? Through the adoption of sustainable farming practices, the global community is actively working towards restoring the natural ecosystem. This endeavor seeks to achieve not only sufficient food production for humanity but also to safeguard the land, ensuring its fertility for future generations. Prior to the implementation of the ambitious 1 million-hectare rice project, it's essential to highlight smaller-scale yet environmentally friendly agricultural models. 👉 Rice-clam worm model in Hai Duong, Hai Phong, and Thai Binh, which promotes circular and green agriculture, aiding in greenhouse gas reduction 👉 In the Central Highlands, farmers are adopting sustainable practices by turning agricultural by-products into biological fertilizer instead of burning them, thereby mitigating greenhouse effects.  👉 Rice-shrimp cultivation in Ca Mau, where rice fields double as shrimp hatcheries, reducing costs and eliminating the need for chemical pesticides The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) is developing new criteria for agricultural production, such as the percentage of green rice in exports, to meet evolving market demands. While changing habits and mindsets may be challenging, embracing green agriculture is imperative for a sustainable future. If you are cooperatives, associations, businessmen or anyone who have strong interest in how to set up or implement it, please comment or DM us - SATY RICE FARM to support your sustainable agriculture transformation.  Source: Vietnamnetglobal  __________________________________________________ SATY - An Ecosystem of a Sustainable Agriculture #sustainability #agriculture #sustainablericefarm #impactosocial #technology #greenagriculture #waveoffuture #sustainablefarming

COFCO International continues to supply deforestation-free soybeans from Brazil to China. This second batch of soybeans were produced as a rotational crop at COFCO International’s sugar plantations in São Paulo state, Brazil. Crop rotation is a regenerative agriculture practice which improves soil health, boosts yields, and reduces emissions by minimising use of synthetic fertilizers.

Today is International Organic Day, a day for us to celebrate organic farming and living. Our Organic Cotton Farmer Training Programme empowers farmers to transition from conventional to organic practices. Our training programme covers everything from cultivation to certification, ensuring sustainable practices that benefit both farmers and the environment. In 2022-23, we witnessed significant progress in our organic cotton programmes - - 100% of farmers adopted organic pest and soil management. - 97% farmers adopted intercropping, improving soil health and biodiversity. - 98% of farmers adopted water-saving techniques, reducing wastage, and conserving resources. These practices not only enhance soil health and biodiversity but also reduce water wastage and increase overall farm productivity. #Organic #OrganicFarming #InternationalOrganicDay #SustainableAgriculture #CottonConnect #SustainableCotton #OrganicDay2024 #SustainablePractices
