Fertilizer
101
A single teaspoon of healthy soil can contain more microorganisms than there are humans on Earth.
How we treat our soils matters.
Caring for our soil means caring for our future.
Soil is not just about farming. It’s about food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. Healthy soil is rich in nutrients, nourishes crops, filters/absorbs water efficiently, and stores carbon, helping to regulate climate and support biodiversity.
But soil is also fragile. When overused, polluted, or depleted, we face weaker harvests, declining ecosystems, and increased environmental challenges.
The EU is pushing for more organic matter in soils to combat degradation and support sustainable agriculture. Improving soil health is not only beneficial — it’s necessary for long-term food production and environmental stability.
Think all fertilizers are the same? Think again.
Synthetic fertilizers may make crops grow faster, but they come at a high cost.
While synthetic fertilizers provide a quick nutrient boost, they degrade soil and harm water systems over time. Synthetic fertilizers provide an immediate nutrient boost, but they degrade soil over time, leading to nutrient runoff, pollution, and long-term soil depletion. They are a short-term fix with long-term consequences.
Organic fertilizers work differently. They release nutrients slowly, improving soil structure and adding essential organic matter. By enriching the soil rather than depleting it, organic fertilizers support long-term sustainability — ensuring healthier crops, cleaner water, and a more resilient agricultural system.
Organic options build soil health.
A different approach.
BFC takes organic fertilizers a step further. Made from recycled food industry by-products, our fertilizers release nutrients slowly, allowing plants to absorb them more effectively. They also improve soil structure, keeping it fertile longer and supporting beneficial microbes that create healthier farmland.
What sets BFC apart is our unique plant-based formula, designed to meet the specific needs of all types of crops.
Instead of letting waste go to waste, we recover valuable nutrients through a fully circular process — turning waste streams into high-quality, nutrient-rich fertilizer that is returned to the soil.
Our production process reduces energy use by 50% and CO₂ emissions by 90%, making our fertilizers a climate-friendly alternative that supports both sustainable agriculture and a healthier planet.
Soil is home to a vast ecosystem of microorganisms, essential for growing the food we eat. One teaspoon of healthy soil contains up to 1,000,000,000 (that’s 1 billion) bacteria, fungi, and other microbes.
Soil is not a limitless resource. Once degraded, it takes centuries to rebuild. The choices we make today shape the soil of tomorrow.
BFC strengthens soil and sustains Earth.
