Collaboration Across Borders Innovation doesn’t stop at borders. Tracegrow in Finland and Australia-based ReNutrients Pty Ltd have worked together for years with the same goal: giving already mined raw materials a second life as sustainable fertilisers for agriculture. ReNutrients distributes Tracegrow products in Australia and has been a key partner in bringing circular economy fertilisers to farmers in the region. That’s why it’s fantastic to see ReNutrients recognised in the Plant Vitality Founder Showcase, a GRDC-backed program highlighting four early-stage innovators addressing the real challenges facing Australia’s grain sector – rising input costs, climate pressure, and compliance demands. Partnerships like this demonstrate how circular economy solutions are gaining recognition globally and how cooperation across continents can accelerate change in agriculture. Congratulations to Brett Smuts and the ReNutrients team on this well-deserved recognition! 👉 Watch their founder story here: https://lnkd.in/g_PJZhju 👉 Read more about the Plant Vitality Showcase here: https://lnkd.in/g9MYkCtf #CircularEconomy #SustainableAgriculture #Partnerships #Innovation #Tracegrow #ReNutrients #GRDC #Gdaymate

FROM SAPLINGS TO GREAT TREES: VFC & VNF CONTINUE THE STORY AFTER 50 YEARS 🌱 Vietnamese agriculture – the pillar of the nation – is entering a period of profound transformation. In the context of the digital economy and the inevitable demand for clean agriculture, the sector faces not only challenges but also tremendous opportunities. Throughout its 50-year journey, VFC has always played a pioneering role: first as a flagship unit under the Plant Protection Department, then the Ministry of Agriculture, and now the Ministry of Agriculture & Environment. Entering this new phase of transformation, once again, VFC reaffirms its role as the “Inspiring Big Brother” of the industry, ready to lead and embrace new trends. Meanwhile, VNF is a pioneering enterprise in extracting renewable resources with a zero-waste approach, producing bioactive ingredients such as Peptides, Chitosan, Probiotics, and more, serving various industries. In particular, in horticulture, VNF’s solutions can be applied throughout the entire lifecycle of crops. 🤝 After many discussions, VFC and VNF have officially joined hands in cooperation. The two Parties will cooperate in research and development of biological products, aiming toward green agriculture, eco-friendliness, and emission reduction. We understand that: “Every great tree begins as a sapling, but not every sapling becomes a great tree.” 🌳 (a quotation borrowed from The 50-year Journey of VFC documentary). The path to success is never easy. However, with VFC’s extensive experience in fumigation, agrochemicals, and pest control, together with the partnership of VNF, this collaboration promises to bring positive outcomes for agriculture that is EFFECTIVE – GREEN – SUSTAINABLE. ✨ We sincerely thank VFC for placing its trust in VNF. We strongly believe that this collaboration will pave the way for groundbreaking opportunities, reshaping our future and marking a defining moment in the journey of both companies. #VFC #VNF #VietnamFood #GreenAgriculture #SustainableDevelopment #CleanAgriculture #SustainableFuture
