BUCK LOVES MOTHER EARTH SO WE CAN HELP BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR GENERATIONS. BUCKWHEAT IS A GO-TO CROP FOR FARMERS, GROWS FAST AND REQUIRES THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WATER COMPARED TO NUTS, GRAINS, AND CEREALS.
DID YOU KNOW THAT OVER FERTILIZATION OF FARMLANDS ACCOUNTS FOR 80% OF NITROUS OXIDE (N2O) EMISSION INTO OUR ATMOSPHERE? AND THAT N2O IS 300 TIMES MORE POTENT AT WARMING OUR PLANET THAN CO2?
8L OF OUR BUCK MYLK SAVES 1KG OF CO2E* FROM OUR ATMOSPHERE. NOW THAT'S WORTH CELEBRATING!
GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION
*(ESTIMATED EQUIVALENT OF NO2 GREENHOUSE EMISSION FROM 1 ACRE OF OVER-FERTILIZED CROPS.)
BEES LOVE IT!
BUCKWHEAT REQUIRES LITTLE OR NO CHEMICALS (THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE LIVES OF BEES AND OTHER BENEFICIAL INSECTS) TO GROW, IT IS A FAVOURABLE CROP FOR BEES.
BEEKEEPERS LOVE BUCKWHEAT AS IT HELPS THEM PRESERVE AND EXPAND THE BEE POPULATION. IN FACT, 1 ACRE OF BUCKWHEAT FIELD SUPPORTS 1 BEEHIVE.
BUCKWHEAT IS MORE THAN JUST GOOD FOR THE EARTH; IT RENEWS THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT GROWS. BUCKWHEAT ACCESSES PHOSPHORUS AND NITROGEN THAT OTHER PLANTS CAN'T ACCESS. WHEN IT DECOMPOSES IT MAKES THESE NUTRIENTS AVAILABLE FOR OTHER PLANTS. HOW COOL IS THAT?
ENRICHES THE SOIL
NO TO
HERBICIDES & PESTICIDES
BUCKWHEAT NATURALLY MITIGATES WEEDS AND DOES NOT REQUIRE HERBICIDES. BUCKWHEAT IS LIKE A WEED AND DOES NOT CARRY ANY KNOWN DISEASES, SO IT DOES NOT REQUIRE FUNGICIDES OR INSECTICIDES.
IT CAN BE GROWN BACK-TO-BACK WITHOUT THE FEAR OF INFECTION, UNLIKE MANY OTHER CROPS. FARMERS GO-TO CROP THAT REQUIRES VERY LITTLE AGRICULTURE INPUTS.
DEFEATS WEEDS
BUCKWHEAT GROWS FAST INTO A DENSE CANOPY, WHICH ACTS AS A NATURAL WEED SUPPRESSOR. NO NEED FOR CHEMICAL HERBICIDES THAT AFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT (WATER, AIR, EARTH).
WE LOVE THE REGENERATIVE PROPERTIES OF BUCKWHEAT RENEWING THE ECOSYSTEM IN WHICH IT GROWS BY GIVING BACK NUTRIENTS (ORGANIC FERTILIZER) INTO THE SOIL FOR OTHER CROPS TO USE AND GROW.
