INTERNATIONAL
Atlantic AgriTech has been involved in various international projects relating to agricultural production and environmental protection. Staff has been involved as research lead in the introduction and evaluation of various organic fertilizers and potential crop protectants in bananas and other crops in south east China. In 2004 and 2005, several trials were established in banana plantations and other crops to evaluate the effectiveness of the products of interest. Working with dTree & Associates, a market development company from Toronto, Ontario, AgriTech staff cooperated with local farmers and government officials to evaluate the products.

Additional international work was conducted in 2006, when AgriTech staff traveled to the Queensland area of Australia to evaluate various fertilizer technologies and cropping practices for potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this project, additional research was conducted into the development of fertilizers, soil amendments and other technologies to increase carbon sequestration in soils.
