The Essence of the Nutrilite's Sustainable Farming System
The Nutrilite farms are engaged in a bio-intensive type of farming, emphasizing the responsible
management of biological interrelationships – such as those between pests and natural enemies – and
the use of natural processes to build soil health and plant nutrition. We emphasize and stimulate
sustainable biological intensive agricultural practices, rather than "quick-fix" methods and
materials for growing crops. Our goal is to enhance and sustain the relationship between farming
and nature.
-
Considering the farm as an organism – including the interaction and diversity of
the people, animals, plants and elements of the earth working together in
perfect balance.
-
The integration and diversity of the plants that are cultivated, and the people and
animals living on the farm.
-
The preservation of habitats – natural ecological areas within the farm boundaries to
sustain the diversity of both native plant and animal species.
-
Wide based soil nutrition – protecting the soil as a living organism, with the goal of
maintaining 45 to 50 elements in the soil by feeding the soil natural materials.
-
No contamination allowed – creating a healthy and thriving base so that the need for
curative measures is limited.
-
Preservation and cultivation of a wide variety of seeds.
-
Traceability of every action performed on each piece of land, so that we may truly
work as one with nature and respect the farm as a living organism.
-
Social life – ensuring that the farm is a viable operation that will provide economic
security and sustainability for the families who depend on it.
