Replenish Nutrients receives over $162K

Sep 27, 2022

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.

Video: Seeing the Whole Season: How Continuous Crop Modeling Is Changing Breeding

Plant breeding has long been shaped by snapshots. A walk through a plot. A single set of notes. A yield check at the end of the season. But crops do not grow in moments. They change every day.

In this conversation, Gary Nijak of AerialPLOT explains how continuous crop modeling is changing the way breeders see, measure, and select plants by capturing growth, stress, and recovery across the entire season, not just at isolated points in time.

Nijak breaks down why point-in-time observations can miss critical performance signals, how repeated, season-long data collection removes the human bottleneck in breeding, and what becomes possible when every plot is treated as a living data set. He also explores how continuous modeling allows breeding programs to move beyond vague descriptors and toward measurable, repeatable insights that connect directly to on-farm outcomes.

This conversation explores:

• What continuous crop modeling is and how it works

• Why traditional field observations fall short over a full growing season

• How scale and repeated measurement change breeding decisions

• What “digital twins” of plots mean for selection and performance

• Why data, not hardware, is driving the next shift in breeding innovation As data-driven breeding moves from research into real-world programs, this discussion offers a clear look at how seeing the whole season is reshaping value for breeders, seed companies, and farmers, and why this may be only the beginning.
