About Polyhalite

Global food security is one of the most important challenges facing the world today. The world needs to feed another 1.5 billion people by 2050, while reducing the impact of food production on the environment. Agriculture must transition to practices that both increase food production and minimise environmental harm.

 

The Woodsmith Project is focused on the world’s largest polyhalite resource. Polyhalite is a naturally occurring mineral which is unique in containing four of the six key nutrients required for healthy plant growth - sulphur, potassium, magnesium and calcium – and is certified for organic use. Nature based fertilisers like polyhalite will have a significant role to play as they increase yields while reducing environmental harm by limiting emissions and supporting healthier, more resilient soils.
