Food first – nothing goes to waste
Approximately 60% of the harvest becomes food. The remaining 40% becomes by-products and biomass for the next cycle. Bio1+Converse helps build the necessary microbiome. All biomass is managed to retain soil carbon and nitrogen.
Direct field returns
The treatment focuses on biological treatment, microbial degradation, and the prevention of gas losses (COâ‚‚, methane, ammonia).
Circular processing
Residual fractions are recycled. Biomass is stabilized through biological processes. Nutrients are stored via fermentation, biochar processes, and microbial enhancement.
The Living Circle Continues
Biomass is enhanced with growth-promoting microbes, biological seed treatment, faster establishment, stronger root systems.
Frequently asked questions about circular food production
What does Hasta Eco mean by circular food production?
That all nutrients, biomass, and energy circulate within the system – from soil to plant to human and back to soil – without unnecessary losses.
How does this differ from conventional farming?
In many systems, residual biomass is seen as waste. At Hasta Eco, it is a key resource for the next harvest.
What happens to the biomass that doesn't become food?
It is returned to the soil through biological processes that preserve carbon, nitrogen, and microbial life instead of releasing them into the atmosphere.
What is the role of fermentation in the system?
Fermentation stabilizes nutrients so that they are not lost, while strengthening microbial life for the next growing season.
Is circular food production efficient?
Yes – because the system reduces the need for external inputs and builds fertility over time, it becomes both holistically efficient and long-term stable.
