Heliae, Agricola Cerro Prieto to Collaborate on Soil Health, Water Retention
Heliae Development, LLC and Agricola Cerro Prieto (ACP) have announced the launch of a new partnership to combat and reverse negative effects on crops and soil from climate change, water scarcity and distressed soil conditions. The collaboration partnership was structured by Afina International, Heliae’s international business development partner.
Under the terms of the agreement, Heliae is providing ACP with a team of dedicated soil microbiologists, access to its state of the art R&D capabilities and on-ground training and support. Heliae will work closely with ACP’s team of agronomists to assist with their sustainability needs in Peru.
