I am Janelle Nightingale, the Executive Director of Agri Planet Africa. We create sustainable and ecologically responsible organic fertilizer for commercial use. We are dedicated to working with local farmers and providing them with economically viable products for the benefit of the environment.
We source our manure from local cows and pay their owners a fair price for it. When cows become ill or reach end-of-life, we buy them from farms instead of selling them to butcheries. This reflects our commitment to sustainability that goes beyond product production and into our core business activities.
We prioritize hiring locally when possible, providing jobs to members in our community and strengthening pride amongst those living near us. We also implement onsite conservation practices such as water recycling systems and energy-efficient lighting systems; all packaging materials used are recyclable or compostable as well.
At Agri Planet Africa, I’m proud of the team’s mission — creating lasting bonds with local farmers, investing in sustainable solutions, partnering with animal rights groups, creating employment opportunities within rural areas; as well as using recyclable or compostable packaging materials — All towards achieving a greener future!
