SUSTAINABLE AG
The Principle of Sustainability
Sustainability presumes that the available natural resources on our planet are finite. As such, they must be used conservatively and wisely in order to avoid their depletion and maintain their long-term renewal and availability. Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Sustainable practices support the delicate balance and tradeoffs between ensuring the continuity of ecological ecosystems, meeting human needs, and supporting economic vitality. The core challenge of sustainable agriculture is to produce more with less, while preserving and enhancing the livelihoods of small-scale and family farmers, and ensuring access to food by the most vulnerable.
Sustainable Fields Forever
Maintaining a Continuous Food Supply It’s a daunting prospect: 9.7 billion people to feed by 2050. Global demand for food is rapidly escalating while the resources available for its production continue to diminish. In parallel, the drive for reduced synthetic chemicals in harvested crops has never been greater; regulatory standards for cleaner and safer food are becoming increasingly strict, reflecting widespread grass roots awareness by consumers everywhere. There is a clear need to strike a sustainable balance between people, planet and prosperity.

New Generation of Biopesticides
Sustainable Agriculture and Biologic Solutions Biologic-based solutions (biopesticides) are naturally-occurring products derived from materials such as plants, bacteria, viruses, and minerals that demonstrate an ability to naturally fight a variety of diseases prevalent in agriculture. Biologic formulations generally:
- Are not petroleum based
- Do not generate greenhouse gasses
- Are less toxic to people and the environment
- Fit into the IPM (Integrated Pest Management) approach and sustainable production models
- Promote better quality and higher yield in crops
Hybrid solutions
Helping Farmers Transition to Sustainable Ag Synthetic inputs will continue to be a mainstay in ensuring the perpetuity of the food chain for the foreseeable future. The crop protection industry has made impressive strides in reducing the environmental risks associated with its products. In addition to the efforts made by agrochemical companies to produce solutions with lower impact, the introduction of hybrid formulations in parallel will go a long way in helping growers of all sizes to actively pursue sustainable practices in their everyday operations. Hybrid pest control solutions combine biologic-based elements with synthetics. They positively affect parameters such as efficacy, cost, lower MRL, reduced chemical load and improved yield and quality. Hybrids help strike a balance between what is taken out of the soil and what is returned to it.
STK and Sustainable Agriculture
STK is committed to helping growers pursue the practices of sustainable agriculture by developing smarter solutions for enabling the continuity of farming.
