I will talk about our experiences using Biostart in Southern Africa over

developing integrated, sustainable agricultural programs. Peripheral is
our range of microbial activators, including humic and fulvic acid

The company is not just a business in support of my family, it is also a

control/organic/natural remedy movement is not just a job but a passion
to me.
