Complementary use of Natural Chilean Nitrate will allow the organic farmer to optimize production.
This and the access to a more economic source of N will give the organic farmer a competitive advantage
in the market place and will contribute in maintaining rural communities.
The judicious use of Natural Chilean Nitrate respects and supports the cyclical precautionary and
nearness principles dear to the organic agriculture community. It supports expressions of value and
ethics such as: "self-reliance", "biologically robust", "high general standard of nutrition", "enlightened
agriculture", "ecology, sensible balance", "excellence in husbandry", "productivity together with
sustainability", "maintaining rural communities", "shorter supply chain", etc.
Natural Chilean Nitrate, as an essential but most natural plant food, has proven to be a valuable
contribution to the success of organic agriculture in that it will allow organic agriculture to improve
in a significant way its productivity, sustainability, its potential to produce fresh food of best quality
and to fulfill the logistical requirements to offer a fair deal for consumers and promote local labor
intensiveness by shortening the supply chain and promoting national self reliance.
Its judicious use is part of common sense agriculture and reflects biological reality. Before the
introduction of synthetic nitrogen, when the entire world agriculture was basically organic,
farmers already used this nitrogenous rock to maintain soil fertility. Natural Chilean Nitrate was
used as organic fertilizer before organic agriculture became a world movement
