Soil Booster Production in Iran

This year, our betterSoil team in Iran has launched production of the betterSoil Booster, a solution for improving soil fertility and supporting regenerative agriculture. The process begins in Kerman, where we collect biological waste and carefully process it. The woody materials are transformed into high-quality biochar, meeting the stringent standards of the European Biochar Certificate, while the more nutrient-rich components are converted into premium compost. By combining these elements, we create a powerful soil amendment designed to improve soil structure and biology by boosting microbial life, and improve nutrient retention.

But that’s just the beginning. The betterSoil Booster is teeming with life. Millions of beneficial microorganisms, bacteria, and fungi thrive within it, ready to enrich agricultural lands and home gardens. Once applied to the soil, these microbes accelerate humus formation, boost soil health, and promote sustainable plant growth. With a carefully controlled production process, we ensure that the Booster is of high quality, free from harmful contaminants, and ready for organic and regenerative farming practices.

By bringing biochar-enriched compost to the market, we are helping farmers and gardeners revitalize their soils, increase crop yields, and contribute to a more sustainable food system.

Every production process starts with the right location. With the support of our dedicated team, we secured a piece of land 20 km from Kerman, perfectly suited for betterSoil Booster production. Initially, the site was nothing more than an enclosed, barren plot surrounded by a wall and a door to enter it. Transforming it into a fully functional production facility required careful planning and preparation.

The team quickly compiled a list of essential equipment and materials to get started. First, we leveled the ground and spread coarse gravel to prevent sinking into the mud during rainy weather. Next, we constructed a tool shed to store equipment and materials. To tackle the region’s intense summer heat (30–40°C), we built a shaded wooden structure with a roof made of palm leaves, providing protection from the sun.

With these upgrades, our Kerman site is now fully equipped to produce high-quality betterSoil Booster, supporting healthier soils and more sustainable agriculture.

At betterSoil, we are committed to sustainable waste management and the circular economy. In Kerman, Iran, we have launched an initiative to collect and recycle biological waste, turning it from an environmental challenge into a resource for soil restoration. By working closely with local communities, building strong networks, and implementing practical solutions, we are laying the foundation for a sustainable supply chain to support the production of high-quality soil improvement products.

Each year, over 80% of biological waste, including food scraps, garden waste, and organic materials, is sent to landfills or openly burned. This leads to environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and groundwater contamination. In many places, biowaste burning releases carbon dioxide and harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, worsening climate change.

As urbanization and population growth continue in Kerman, the demand for effective organic waste recycling is rising. By 2050, the population will grow, generating higher volumes of waste, further threatening the environment and public health. To combat this, we are expanding our efforts to convert organic waste into nutrient-rich materials, improving soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and sustainable agriculture.
