Purina has brought together a consortium of experts in seaweed bio-stimulants, plant health and soil science to launch a three-year academic study on the possible role of seaweed-based bio-stimulants in regenerative agriculture. The study, which will take place at the Wageningen Plant Science Institute in the Netherlands, will evaluate the potential impact of seaweed-based bio-stimulants on plant performance and nutrition, as well as crop safety and quality. The study will be supported by on-farm field trials aiming to investigate how seaweed extracts applied to crops might improve soil health and…

First Milk, Nestlé and Agricarbon launch pioneering soil carbon project
First Milk, Nestlé and Agricarbon have announced the launch of a pioneering soil carbon capture project – the first of its kind in the world. The project, which establishes a comprehensive and scientifically robust soil carbon baseline for First Milk farms, will use state-of-the-art machinery to carry out intensive soil carbon analysis at a fraction of the usual cost. The approach allows soil carbon sequestration to be quantified over time to support the net zero ambitions of First Milk farmers and customers. The initial phases of the project are being…
