The agricultural sector is facing a major challenge: becoming more sustainable without losing productivity. One key solution? Making better use of natural resources. At Den Ouden GrowSolutions, we’re committed to turning natural by-products into valuable organic fertilisers. This way, we help growers nourish the soil while reducing environmental impact.
By-products as the foundation for sustainable fertilisers
In our product development, we’re always looking for innovative ways to use natural by-products. We carefully process them into high-quality organic fertilisers that support soil life and help crops absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Within our Soil Health product category, these renewable raw materials play a crucial role. By humifying organic by-products from the wine industry through a high-quality production process, we create a stable raw material that is rich in organic matter and naturally occurring micro-organisms. The result? A fertile, resilient soil that can better handle extreme weather conditions and uses water and nutrients more efficiently.
Efficient nutrient absorption
Beyond improving soil health, we also focus on optimizing the way crops take up nutrients. Our product NutriFul in the Efficient Uptake category, contains high-quality by-products like fulvic acid sourced from the water purification process of Vitens. Vitens is a Dutch drinking water company that extracts, purifies, and distributes groundwater to provide clean and reliable drinking water.
The natural fulvic acid enhances nutrient availability and stimulates root development, helping crops make the most of the fertilisers they receive. The benefits? Healthier growth, better resistance to stress factors, and more efficient fertiliser use, which minimizes waste and nutrient leaching.
Natural nutrients for stronger crops
At Den Ouden GrowSolutions, we’re also dedicated to giving crops the best possible nutrition. Our Nutrients product category includes valuable organic components that ensure a natural and balanced fertilisation process. These fertilisers release nutrients gradually, increasing efficiency and preventing excess nutrients from leaching into the environment. Thanks to their organic origin, they also stimulate microbial activity in the soil, creating a natural balance that makes plants more resilient to challenges like drought and disease.
Sustainable resource use: The future of farming
Even though our fertilisers can’t be reused after application, they do contribute to a more sustainable agricultural system by making better use of natural resources. This aligns perfectly with circular farming principles and helps farmers work more sustainably without sacrificing yield.
By choosing fertilisers made from by-products, we minimize waste and give valuable raw materials a second life in agriculture and horticulture. This results in healthier soil, reduced dependence on artificial fertilisation, and a lower ecological footprint for the sector. Our approach demonstrates that sustainable farming can go hand in hand with productivity and efficiency, with a positive impact on both crops and the environment.
