Based upon FFLI’s Microbial Carbon Farming systems, our ‘Microbial Carbon Environmental Management System’ has proven to revive disturbed and disrupted soils – and establish self-sustaining vegetation in the harshest conditions. Even the most depleted commercial sites can be revegetated by using our programs and products – resulting in increased levels of mineral nutrition and soil Carbon for sustainable growth with less water required, compared to conventional approaches.

After a period of intense research, development and testing, our programs use various products including our hero product, EnviroMatrix ECM (Biologically activated Erosion Control Matrix), which has emerged as a cost effect self-sustaining erosion control solution for commercial sites where topsoil has been lost or depleted due to:
