OVERVIEW
A growing global population and changing diets are driving up the demand for food. Production is struggling to keep up as crop yields level off in many parts of the world, ocean health declines, and natural resources—including soils, water, and biodiversity—are stretched dangerously thin. A 2020 report found that nearly 690 million people—or 8.9 percent of the global population—are hungry, up by nearly 60 million in five years. The food security challenge will only become more difficult, as the world will need to produce about 70 percent more food by 2050 to feed an estimated 9 billion people. The challenge is intensified by agriculture’s extreme vulnerability to climate change. Climate change’s negative impacts are already being felt, in the form of increasing temperatures, weather variability, shifting agro-ecosystem boundaries, invasive crops and pests, and more frequent extreme weather events. On farms, climate change is reducing crop yields, the nutritional quality of major cereals, and lowering livestock productivity. Substantial investments in adaptation will be required to maintain current yields and to achieve production and food quality increases to meet demand.
The problem also works in reverse. Agriculture is a major part of the climate problem. It currently generates 19–29% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Without action, that percentage could rise substantially as other sectors reduce their emissions. Additionally, 1/3 of food produced globally is either lost or wasted. Addressing food loss and waste is critical to helping meet climate goals and reduce stress on the environment.
CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE
Achieving the Triple Win of CSA Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an integrated approach to managing landscapes—cropland, livestock, forests and fisheries—that addresses the interlinked challenges of food security and accelerating climate change. CSA aims to simultaneously achieve three outcomes:
1. Increased productivity: Produce more and better food to improve nutrition security and boost incomes, especially of 75 percent of the world’s poor who live in rural areas and mainly rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.
2. Enhanced resilience: Reduce vulnerability to drought, pests, diseases and other climate-related risks and shocks; and improve capacity to adapt and grow in the face of longer-term stresses like shortened seasons and erratic weather patterns.
3. Reduced emissions: Pursue lower emissions for each calorie or kilo of food produced, avoid deforestation from agriculture and identify ways to absorb carbon out of the atmosphere.
REGENERATIVE APPROACH
Protecting Earth's ecological balance.
Ecological balance is a term used to describe the equilibrium between living organisms such as human being, plants, and animals as well as their environment. Therefore, this balance is very important because it ensures survival, existence and stability of the environment.

The Global Goals
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). It's now six years on, and we have more work than ever to do. These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

BIOPHILIC CROP CARE
We believe there is an effective way for growers to be able to balance sustainable production, high yields and enhance profit, whilst using responsible farming practices.
The Biophilic farming system is developed with the arising needs of commercial growers. We undertook rigorous research, then assisted farmers and land managers to conduct independent trials at farms throughout the state.
Trials across broad acre farms, horticulture and viticulture consistently showed high levels of soil health and quality yields, with extremely low levels of leachable nutrients and residues in the soil, complying with legislated, environmental safety standards.
Farmers told us they wanted high performance products without high levels of chemicals; they wanted to optimise soil health and plant nutrition; they wanted non-toxic products and safety for their families; economic and environmental sustainability now and in the future.
Our innovative, scientifically proven approach combines essential minerals and specially coated soil microbes, into powerful “living” fertilisers that actively improve and sustain soil health for the long term.
BIOPHILIC products have been developed specifically as efficient all-rounders because they are:
Today, Biophilic products are trusted by home gardeners, farmers, as well as local communities.
All Products are Lab Tested and Verified CropSafe.
