Conservation Agriculture
To further our sustainability efforts, we use resource-saving agricultural crop production for our straw products that strives to achieve acceptable profits with high and sustained production level while concurrently conserving the environment.
Responsibly Grown
Managing Soil
We use best practices to ensure soil is not depleted of natural nutrients including preparation before sowing, stubble management, planting arrangements and density, as well as using eco-friendly biological products.
Soil Fertility
To keep our soil healthy, we use a series of diagnostic tools to ensure the soil’s minerals are balanced and it has vitality for a productive cycle.
Plague & Illness Management
We use technology for soil analysis to ensure we are applying fertilizer in the most effective and efficient way. We also use low-impact products for pest and disease management in conjunction with our diagnostic tools.
Water Management
Our highly efficient watering process is at the ground level, which helps to avoid flooding and narrows the space between the water source and plant.
Harvest Management
By keeping stubble left on the surface in place, we can preserve soil nutrients, minimizing the effects of humidity during harvest.
Certifications
FloraCraft has partnered with CIMMYT to evaluate the conservation agriculture practices of our straw farmers to certify them as sustainable. CIMMYT is a non-profit research-for-development organization that develops improved varieties of wheat and maize and innovates agricultural practices to help boost production, prevent crop disease and improve smallholder farmers' livelihoods.
