Safi Organics Ltd.
We use technology, validated and tested at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), utilizes torrefaction, whereby agricultural waste is treated under moderate heat in air-controlled environment in order to rapidly break down the long cellulosic chains. The resultant carbon-rich substrate is then mixed with special nutrient recipe (dependent on the soil and crop requirements) into a standalone fertilizer, Safi Sarvi. We eliminate the long-distance fertilizer transportation, we also drastically reduce the fertilizer cost while offering farmers a much higher - quality product. Our product, Safi Sarvi, is a locally produced carbon-negative Fertilizer that helps smallholder farmers improves yields by up to 30%. Farmers who use our product earns between 20-30% additional income from the increased harvest. In addition, our carbon-rich substrate stays inert in the soil for hundreds of years – and therefore for every acre of land that uses our product, we are effectively sequestering 2.2 tons of CO2 equivalent from the atmosphere.
