1 year, 7 months agoAgribusiness company that produces a tailor made organic fertilizer fit for farmers soils across sub saharan Africa.
We use technology, validated and tested at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), utilizes torrefaction, whereby agricultural waste is treated under moderate heat in air-controlled environment in order to rapidly break down the long cellulosic chains. The resultant carbon-rich substrate is then mixed with special nutrient recipe (dependent on the soil and crop requirements) into a standalone fertilizer, Safi Sarvi.
We eliminate the long-distance fertilizer transportation, we also drastically reduce the fertilizer cost while offering farmers a much higher - quality product. Our product, Safi Sarvi, is a locally produced carbon-negative Fertilizer that helps smallholder farmers improves yields by up to 30%. Farmers who use our product earns between 20-30% additional income from the increased harvest. In addition, our carbon-rich substrate stays inert in the soil for hundreds of years – and therefore for every acre of land that uses our product, we are effectively sequestering 2.2 tons of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere.
