Replenish Nutrients receives over $162K

EarthRenew and its subsidiary, Replenish Nutrients, are pleased to announce it has been awarded over $162,000 non-dilutive funding from Canadian Agriculture Partnership’s (CAP) Value-Added Program.

The CAP is a five-year, $3 billion Federal-Provincial-Territorial investment in the agriculture sector that started in April 2018. It represents a Federal-Provincial-Territorial investment of $406 million in strategic Alberta-based programs and initiatives for the sector.

Replenish Nutrients is an agritech company producing regenerative fertilizer solutions to support farms and farmers by putting healthy soil and grower profitability front and centre.

The company combines Canadian-sourced nutrients with its proprietary delivery system, to develop a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers that enhances overall soil function and biology while providing valuable plant-available nutrients farmers rely upon for healthy crops.

The CAP award supports Replenish Nutrients’ process design and improvement, engineering, and equipment at its Beiseker site.

It will increase the number of blending sites from two to seven and move those sites closer to help support gross margins by reducing transportation and handling costs.

This will also help the Replenish Nutrients’ meet the enhanced demand for fertilizers coming this season as it moves towards its target of 200 per cent year over year sales growth.

The next move for Replenish Nutrients is to expand its business beyond Western Canada.

Could Seed Technology Lead the Fight Against Drought in Farming?

Video: Could Seed Technology Lead the Fight Against Drought in Farming?

Seed is life, but water is the critical component to promoting that potential. As the seed sector navigates more and more extreme weather, ensuring each planted seed has access to adequate moisture is a critical — arguably, the MOST critical — component of early season success. A group of Slovakian scientists has recently introduced to the market a potential solution: a superabsorbent polymer seed coating technology that captures and delivers moisture directly to the seed. The company is PeWaS (aka: Permanent Watering Solutions), and the technology is Aquaholder. How does it work, what kind of difference could it make, and — more broadly — how might seed treatments as a whole change the game for big challenges like drought mitigation? We sat down with PeWaS’s CEO, Ivo Krpelan, to find out. If you're curious about the future of seed technology and sustainable farming, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
