Over the last 20 years, pioneering scientists in Latin American organisation MasHumus have developed a range of ‘farm-made’ BioFertilizers to replace energy-intensive and expensive artificial fertilizers. These techniques have enabled farmers across Latin America access to the tools and knowledge needed to get themselves ‘off the drip’ of increasingly unaffordable artificial fertilizers. And now we're bring this open-source knowledge to the world.

Using a variety of simple processes, producers can make their own biofertilizers on their own farms. The BioFertile Farms series of courses are hands-on and involve showing producers how to; make all of the fertilizers they are likely to need on their farm in order to restore fertility to their landscapes and yeilds, 

The biofertiliser movement has also revolutionised the use of Chromatography such that producers can use this analysis technique for a whole range of applications, allowing producers to test everything from their soils and produce to the various inputs they apply via a simple, effective, on-farm process.
