We are a unique company that works with a
\nworldwide network of agronomists and scientists.<\/span><\/h2>\n

We close\u00adly work with our clients to devel\u00adop solu\u00adtions that help agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal pro\u00adduc\u00aders max\u00adi\u00admize oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties and reduce pro\u00adduc\u00adtion costs and risks while increas\u00ading the sus\u00adtain\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty of their operations.<\/p>\n

At SmartA\u00adgro<\/strong><\/span> we design inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive crop\u00adping sys\u00adtems, regen\u00ader\u00adate soils, and make crop
\nand live\u00adstock pro\u00adduc\u00adtion more resilient against cli\u00admate change and mar\u00adket fluctuation.<\/p>\n

When imple\u00adment\u00aded on a large scale this tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy can reverse glob\u00adal warming.<\/p>\n

We increase resources in the soil instead of extract\u00ading them.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SMART<\/span> Tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy<\/strong><\/span> offers a safe and 100% organ\u00adic sup\u00adply chain from start to fin\u00adish for<\/p>\n

\u2022 crop and live\u00adstock production,<\/p>\n

\u2022 food processing,<\/p>\n

\u2022 food preservation.<\/p>\n

SMART<\/span> Tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy <\/span><\/strong>p<\/span>roduces high\u00ader qual\u00adi\u00adty at low\u00ader cost.<\/p>\n

SmartA\u00adgro\u2019s<\/strong><\/span> goal is to increase envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal health and ulti\u00admate\u00adly human health by sup\u00adport\u00ading agribusi\u00adness\u00ades in pro\u00adduc\u00ading nutri\u00adtious food in a sus\u00adtain\u00adable way.<\/p>\n

We are at the most crit\u00adi\u00adcal moment in the his\u00adto\u00adry of our human species, as changes to the cli\u00admate threat\u00aden the func\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty of Earth\u00ad\u2019s ecosys\u00adtem and with it human\u00adi\u00adty\u2019s secu\u00adri\u00adty. But there exists a tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy for mas\u00adsive plan\u00ade\u00adtary geo-engi\u00adneer\u00ading that is tried and test\u00aded and avail\u00adable for wide\u00adspread dis\u00adsem\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly. It costs lit\u00adtle and is adapt\u00adable to local con\u00adtexts the world over. It can be rolled out tomor\u00adrow pro\u00advid\u00ading mul\u00adti\u00adple ben\u00ade\u00adfits beyond cli\u00admate change adap\u00adtion and mit\u00adi\u00adga\u00adtion. A real win-win for all stake\u00adhold\u00aders involved: food pro\u00adduc\u00aders, con\u00adsumers and the plan\u00adet as a whole.<\/p>\n

The solu\u00adtion is farm\u00ading in a regen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtive way by increas\u00ading soil fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty through prac\u00adtices of no-till, inte\u00adgra\u00adtion of cov\u00ader crops, crop rota\u00adtion and rota\u00adtion\u00adal graz\u00ading, which could sequester more than 100% of cur\u00adrent annu\u00adal CO<\/span>2 <\/sub>emis\u00adsions.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

In late 2017 news made the head\u00adlines that cur\u00adrent\u00adly there was as much car\u00adbon in the Earth\u2019s atmos\u00adphere as 800,000 years ago[2]<\/a>, some sci\u00aden\u00adtists even go back as far as 15 mil\u00adlion years ago<\/a>.[3]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018 the world\u2019s lead\u00ading cli\u00admate sci\u00aden\u00adtists have warned there is only 12 years to be kept to a max\u00adi\u00admum of 1.5C<\/span><\/span><\/a> and avoid cat\u00ada\u00adstroph\u00adic envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtal break\u00addown. The authors of the land\u00admark report by the UN<\/span> Inter\u00adgov\u00adern\u00admen\u00adtal Pan\u00adel on Cli\u00admate Change (IPCC<\/span>) said urgent and unprece\u00addent\u00aded changes are need\u00aded to reach the tar\u00adget.[4]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

But even when we con\u00adsid\u00ader the full range of chal\u00adlenges we col\u00adlec\u00adtive\u00adly face beyond cli\u00admate change, it becomes clear that agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal prac\u00adtices are the key to each one of them: from the pres\u00adsures of pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion growth, urban\u00adiza\u00adtion, migra\u00adtion, and con\u00adflict due to food, ener\u00adgy, and water inse\u00adcu\u00adri\u00adty; i<\/span><\/span>n all its dimen\u00adsions, human secu\u00adri\u00adty is increas\u00ading\u00adly frag\u00adile and in many parts of the world land degra\u00adda\u00adtion and cli\u00admate change are now rec\u00adog\u00adnized as con\u00adtribut\u00ading fac\u00adtors to a sense of grow\u00ading insta\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty.

A third of the planet\u2019s land is severe\u00adly degrad\u00aded and fer\u00adtile soils are being lost at the rate of 24bn tons a year<\/span><\/a>, accord\u00ading to a recent Unit\u00aded Nations-backed study.[6]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The loss of the world\u2019s fer\u00adtile soil and bio\u00addi\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty, along with the near total loss (94%) of indige\u00adnous seeds<\/span> and knowl\u00adedge [7]<\/a><\/span>, pose a mor\u00adtal threat to our future sur\u00advival. Accord\u00ading to soil sci\u00aden\u00adtists, at cur\u00adrent rates of soil destruc\u00adtion (i.e. de-car\u00adboniza\u00adtion, ero\u00adsion, deser\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion, chem\u00adi\u00adcal pol\u00adlu\u00adtion), with\u00adin 30 years we will not only suf\u00adfer seri\u00adous dam\u00adage to pub\u00adlic health due to degrad\u00aded food with dimin\u00adished nutri\u00adtion and loss of impor\u00adtant trace min\u00ader\u00adals, but we will lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly no longer have enough arable top\u00adsoil to feed ourselves.<\/p>\n

While agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal mis\u00adman\u00adage\u00adment lies at the heart of our cur\u00adrent social, eco\u00adnom\u00adic and eco\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal prob\u00adlems a rethink\u00ading and redesign of agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal prac\u00adtices holds the poten\u00adtial to be the dri\u00adving force for revers\u00ading glob\u00adal warm\u00ading and regen\u00ader\u00adat\u00ading the planet.<\/p>\n

Without protecting and regenerating the soil, it will be impossible to feed the world, keep global warming below 1,5 degrees Celsius, or halt the loss of biodiversity.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
