6. We need to change our mindset about
how to produce food.
And when we do this, we are making positive impact
which gives us following benefits:
• Agriculture can move into
carbon negativity
• Europe is no longer dependent
from imported inputs
• We will receive enormous
agronomical benefits
• We will increase well-being
and farming income
• We will make global difference
• We can create new, ecological business
opportunities all over Europe

7. And actually… We are doing
it already in Finland
• Soilfood offers a wide range of cost-effective, operational
and ecological services for the industry to deal with side
streams, ie waste
• From these side streams we produce agronomically high-
value fertilizers and soil improvers, which we deliver to
farmers with total service, including everything from
fertilization plan to field application

8. Thank you!
