At NAU Group, sustainability is not just a commitment, it is a reality that is lived day by day in our crops. We work together to implement responsible practices that promote environmental balance. A clear example of this is our biofactory.
Turning Waste into Resources
The biofactory, located in one of NAU Group's farms, was created in 2022 with the purpose of making efficient use of plant waste from blueberry pruning. This initiative allows us to transform waste into valuable resources that enrich the soil and strengthen the productivity of our plants.
The process begins with the collection of pruning residues, which are then subjected to a controlled composting process. The result is a high quality compost that improves soil structure, provides essential nutrients and promotes the healthy development of our crops.
Native Microorganisms: Vitality from the Territory
In addition to compost, we also produce beneficial native microorganisms in our biofactory. These microorganisms, native to the region where the crop is located, play a fundamental role in the health of the soil, improving its biological structure and promoting a balanced agricultural environment. In this way, we take advantage of the resources that the environment offers us to strengthen the ecosystem in a natural and sustainable way.
Looking Toward the Future: Natural Fertilizers
In the medium term, our goal is that the biofactory will also be able to produce all-natural fertilizers. Through the continuous development of composting techniques and the strategic use of microorganisms, we seek to close the waste cycle within our crops and generate products that boost productivity in a sustainable way.
NAU Group's Commitment to Responsible Agriculture
NAU Group's biofactory is a reflection of our commitment to sustainability. Transforming waste into valuable resources not only boosts the health of our plants, but also demonstrates that responsible agriculture is possible when working with conscience and collaboration.
Our goal as a group is that this innovative practice will inspire other growers to join us in our mission to grow blueberries in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
