The Foundation and Technology of Salvation Farming

Salvation Farming Solutions products is an initiative aimed at building capacity in science, technology, and innovation to boost food security and socio-economic development using nature-based food safe products. This model relates to incorporating new ways to use natural means to remediate toxic soils using safe natural organic products that use geologic chemical binding processes that increase soil organic carbon content, improves drought resistance, removes and binds the toxic chemicals which prevent adsorption by the plants or into the crop while also rendering the toxic chemicals inert.

Where the technology was tested:

• In 2018, in Hyderabad India-in Telangana State working with over 1000 farmers in regional cooperatives and on a 25 acres demonstration land
  • The soil type was a mixture of Red,Yellow and Black called REGUR, local hybrid yellow corn was used.
• In 2017, in Odisha India-working with 500 farmers in regional cooperatives and on a 10 acres demonstration land
  • The soil type was Red-Yellow and the seed was AVANTA, seed type was PAC 712 the hybrid early maturity corn.
• In 2012, in Nigeria the innovation was a nature-based pesticide test which covered 1 Ha of infected crops divided into 100-1m2 plots for before and after treatment counts at the Federal University of Technology Owerri, University Research Station.
  • The soil type was sandy, the local maize was used was BENBE variety.
• From 2004- 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA-laboratory, greenhouse and experimental farms on 4 acres of land.
  • The soil type was clay for the experimental farm, the seed used was Peaches & Cream hybrid sweet corn.
  • Laboratory and green house used field corn

The Results from the testing of the technology:

• Seed and soil treatments led to over 200% increase in corn production compared to Control and 100% pest control by comparison.
• The Control corn had 1.5 cobs per stalk with each cob having corn borer infestation with experimental group having 3.5 cobs per stalk with no pests present.
• Nutritional analyses done in December, 2017 by International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) which is an international organization which conducts agricultural research for rural development and is chartered by UN and FAO showed g/100g percentage change of 400%, 374% and 257% for protein, carbs and fat respectively. Niacin (Vitamin B3) had over 400% change, similar high levels of nutritional density as a result of seed and soil treatments were recorded by Nestle-Purina Analytical Laboratories in St. Louis, Missouri in 2014.

The Success factors:

• Significantly improves soil health through a nature-based solution
• Shorten cropping season (off-take faster to market)
• Substantially enhance production results; as much as 2-4 times more in yield
• Improved nutritional values hence “a superfood” that can improve health benefits to the consumers
• Drought, pest and disease resistant
• Job creation through Education: Primary to Secondary, College and University (MBA in Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources)
• Full cycle solution and structure “Farm-to-Table”; vastly improving food security for participant countries and provision of better economic results (farmers, community and country-wide)
