Enriching Ag Sustainability With Food Scraps

Reference: Sponsored Article


In Canada, there’s no shortage of food scraps available for composting. One company is collecting and transforming it into a whole new generation of sustainable fertilizers to help farmers grow the biggest and best crops possible.

Welcome to the world of GFL Ag, a Green for Life company dedicated to “using what we have to create more of what we need” — and enhancing crop production in the process. GFL Ag combines the sustainability of modern agriculture with the next generation of sustainable fertilizers, starting with their newest next-gen nutrient source, Bio-Sul Premium Plus.

Bringing food scraps full circle. Score another one for agriculture.

Who knew common everyday food compost could breed so much innovation? The proof is in the product: Bio-Sul Premium Plus, a fertility product that helps maximize the performance of all crops. It’s one powerful macronutrient package, for enhanced crop performance and a lifetime of sustainable food production.

Food scraps are separated from municipal sources and processed specifically for use as Class 1 compost, which has the power to break down elemental sulphur and contains a lot of microbial energy. Once blended with elemental sulphur, it becomes a season-long fertility innovation, resulting in greater nutrient uptake, increased bioavailability and seed safety, removal of fertilizer bulk, and reduced leaching.

Today’s next-generation sustainable nutrient source, saving you time and money.

Bio-Sul’s innovative combination of hard-working elemental sulphur (70%) plus highly active, Class 1 compostable food scraps (30%) provides nutrient bioavailability for multiple seasons. High application rates of this economical nutrient mean multiple years of sulphur availability, and the reassurance that your crops are getting the nutrients they need, when they need it most. Longer periods between spreading also mean reduced cost and effort for your operation, and Bio-Sul can be applied to a multitude of crops in Canada, including alfalfa, barley, canola, chickpeas, corn, flax, lentils, oats, peas, potato, rye, soybeans and wheat.

From farm to table to food scraps to farm. It’s just good science.

Inspired by solid agronomics, dedicated to sustainable farming and rooted in biological productivity — GFL Ag products are the result of decades of research and development that supports a sustainable and profitable model through transparency and engagement with producers, partners and retailers.
