Fighting To Control Global Warming With Regenerative Farming Methods
At Planet FWD, we go to great lengths to produce our climate-friendly crackers in the most Eco-conscious methods that we can develop. By using no-till farming methods, it is possible to reduce the amount of CO2 waste markedly. Buildup of CO2 is one of the primary culprits causing the greenhouse effect. Tilling the soil to sow the crops every new planting season contributes to topsoil erosion.
By using regional farming techniques that have been developed by indigenous people, local climate and native plant species are used to produce optimal yields. Using plants and farming methods that are time tested for a certain microclimate, over many generations, reduces the need for irrigation and the use of nitrogen-heavy fertilizers.
The natural decomposition of plant waste is the basis for creating new acres of essential topsoil. The use of no-till planting allows our farmers to optimize the process of composting. No-till sewing of annual crops keeps soil erosion down to a minimum, and also keeps carbon-producing organic materials deep in the ground to facilitate the recycling of non-edible plant material from the previous growing season into compost.
The world has lost 70% of its topsoil in the modern era, so this is an important step in maintaining viable farmland as world populations continually grow. The combined efforts of these methods of plant cultivation are called Regenerative Agriculture. As global warming and soil erosion further impact food production, using proactive methods of farming is a necessary first step in addressing climate control.
We have worked very hard to develop a manufacturing process that will reduce emissions, and work toward reducing harmful CO2 accumulation in our atmosphere. By reducing global net CO2 emissions, we get closer to our goal to tackle the global warming problem. Certified Climate Neutral businesses are working together to address and lower CO2 emissions worldwide, and Planet FWD strives to ultimately achieve a Certified Climate Neutral production method.
Through continued efforts to better our environmental impact, like creating a partnership with carbon offset producer NativeEnergy, we know we have more work to do when it comes to undoing some of the damage that has been done to our ecosystem.
Effective Farming Methods That Enrich Topsoil
When the Earth's topsoil has adequate nutrient balance, which can only occur if crops are rotated properly and the soil is enriched with the right balance of nutrients that is, it attracts microbes that will turn rotting organic matter into additional healthy soil that is suitable for farming. By focusing on a wide and carefully planned diversity of plant varieties that thrive in the climates they are grown in, our regenerative agriculture specialists work toward balancing pest cycles with providing sustainable nutrients. Ideally, these methods will help reduce the erosion of topsoil while supplementing the amount of nutrient-rich, farmable land available. Archaic farming techniques that contribute negatively to changes in world climate are retired to make way for less harmful ways to meet the world's demand for crops. The use of equipment that heavily consumes fossil fuels with little regard to the environmental impact from one generation to the next.
Recycled Packaging, Recyclable Packaging & More
Our company was built upon a goal to look toward a more eco-friendly future. We actively research new and innovative ideas to make a positive impact on products like biodegradable, compostable packaging. As we develop new methods of bringing the public a product that they can enjoy, while also fighting global warming in a proactive and creative way, Planet FWD hopes to bring even more healthy, delicious food to your home.
