In conjunction with the RiLeaf project launched by Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, which aims to reforest riparian (meaning riverside) sites of the Kinabatangan River at Sabah, Borneo, and thereby create a landscape where people, nature and agriculture (oil palm) can co-exist harmoniously in their need for water, One Goodearth Sdn. Bhd. supports in such a way to promote the use of LIVINGSOIL® microorganisms in the oil palm plantations.
The use of LIVINGSOIL® microorganisms has helped the farmers to increase their crop yield and profits, as well as to tremendously eliminate/reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers.
Integrated farming - “Happy Hen” project, has also been introduced as part of sustainable and efficient land use to incorporate livestock farming e.g. free range poultry in these chemical-free plantations. Farmers may consume the free range chicken themselves for protein and health, or they may sell the chicken to generate additional income, besides oil palm. In a nutshell, People, Planet and Profit all win at once.
