FOR AFRICAN AGRICULTURE THAT IS
NATURALLY FERTILE !
In the future, agricultural production
should be intensified sustainably and with
respect for the environment.
Who are FCA Fertilisants and
Fertilux ?
Proven by the results of official experi-
ments, the performances of FCA Fertil-
isants and Fertilux solutions provide an
answer in the African context.
SUMMARY :
Eco-friendly fertilisation has
several advantages :
A
ll the continents, and especially Africa,
should take on a challenge for the fu-
ture :
To feed more and more populations under
increasingly difficult soil and climatic con-
ditions.
Despite significant progress, productivity in
the African continent is still below the other
regions in the world and remains a primary
concern. At present, one person in four on the
continent still suffers from chronic malnutrition.
The situation will get worse over the next dec-
ades, considering that demographic growth in
Africa, forecast at 1.3 billion additional inhab-
itants by 2050, will further increase the chal-
lenge to the African food system.
This is compounded by intensifying climatic
changes which will put crops and animal rear-
ing in peril and heighten food safety issues.
Without adaptation strategies, the production
of corn, which is a basic food in Africa, could
fall by 40% between now and 2050. Although
the extension of cultivated land has consider-
ably increased agricultural production in the
past, it has been to the detriment of the en-
vironment.
> An increase in yield
Located in the middle of Europe, the ge-
ographic position of their production
sites gives FCA Fertilisants and Ferti-
lux direct access to natural raw materi-
als for the agro-industry and microbiology.
Through their patented know-how in soil life
biostimulation technologies, FCA Fertilisants
and Fertilux enable farmers to take the initi-
ative towards a naturally fertile agriculture by
following four principles :
Enriching soil fertility
Significantly reducing the carbon effect
in comparison to standard fertilisers
Increasing the effectiveness of inputs
Decreasing the environmental impact
What are the solutions ?
The solutions for eco-friendly fertilisation pro-
vided by FCA Fertilisants and Fertilux stabilise
the soil by including nutrients and nourishing
the microorganisms that are naturally present.
Through a symbiotic relationship with plants,
these microorganisms shape plant health in
two ways :
By helping to fight off diseases or pests
By reinforcing the resistance to biotic
and abiotic stress
> Sustainable strengthening
of soil and plant health
> Perpetuation of the biological,
physical and chemical fertility of
the soil
FCA Fertilisants and Fertilux are
dedicated to the preservation of re-
lations with farmers and devotedly
carry out tests each year directly
on "pilot" farms in order to contin-
uously evaluate the pertinence of
their solutions and optimise their
recommendations and fertilisation
programmes.
We invite you to follow the results of
these tests and partnerships in the
next issues of Farmers Review of
Africa...
