Restoring biological soil fertility to reverse the degradation is the key challenge for the agricultural world in the years to come,” said Luca Brenna, Tersan Puglia Commercial Director. “By partnering with Biome Makers, we are confident that we can make a strong contribution to solving this momentous challenge.” 

Through the partnership, Biome Makers and Tersan Puglia will focus on promoting sustainable agriculture in southern Italy. The collaboration will involve:

-           Farmer Education and Training: Organizing workshops and training sessions for farmers to educate them on the benefits of soil biology and how to implement sustainable practices. These sessions will cover topics such as nutrient management, soil biodiversity, and the use of biological inputs.

-           Customized Recommendations: Providing farmers with personalized recommendations based on the results of BeCrop soil health analyses. These recommendations will help farmers optimize their use of inputs, reduce chemical usage, and improve crop yields sustainably.

-           Integrated Services: Combining BeCrop's advanced soil health analytics with Tersan Puglia's existing services to offer a holistic approach to soil management. This integration will enable farmers to make more informed decisions and adopt practices that enhance soil health and sustainability.

By leveraging Tersan Puglia's local expertise and customer relationships, the partnership aims to drive widespread adoption of sustainable agriculture practices in Italy, ultimately contributing to improved soil health, increased crop productivity, and long-term environmental sustainability.
