Smartcultures enable farmers to leave each field better than they found it in terms of in situ nutrients, organic matter, soil structure and erosion resistance. Smartcultures support sustainable crop production by cultivating Nature's nanotechnology - algae and microbial communities - to build soils, feed crops and reduce erosion. Farmers use the natural power of microflora in place of synthetic agricultural chemicals. Farmers may reduce costs by recovering and recycling the farm's waste stream and minimize pollution of the community ecosystem.
