Progress of sustainable agriculture
Conservation of natural capital
Human life and endeavor are supported by the bounty of nature (ecosystem service) expressed ドラクエ 11s ジャック ポットe natural capital that includes food, water, and raw materials.
Business activities of the Calbee Group are involved deeply in agriculture, under our corporate philosophy of “harnessing nature’s gifts.” We want to make agriculture sustainable and eco-friendly by understanding and improving processes that depend on and impact natural capital.
* Natural capital: stock formed by nature, including forest, soil, water, air, and biological resources.

Main initiatives
Appropriate fertilization ドラクエ 11s ジャック ポット soil analysis
Nitrogen, ドラクエ 11s ジャック ポット and potassium are the three primary nutrients that are necessary for plants to grow. Similarly, they are also essential fertilizers for ensuring the stable quality and procurement of potatoes.
Let us also point out that every field has its own unique soil properties and conditions. So, at the Calbee Group, we perform soil analyses on fields on the basis of which we propose the appropriate fertilizer to our contract producers.
If analyses of phosphoric acid in the soil show that sufficient phosphoric acid is accumulated in the soil, we know that environment is ready to grow plants, so we reduce the amount of fertilizer there and add more to fields where the soil is lacking phosphoric acid. In this way, we are working with contract producers to appropriately fertilize fields ドラクエ 11s ジャック ポット soil analyses.
Moreover, since Japan is dependent on imports of many fertilizers, including phosphate rock, from abroad, it is important for us to carefully use our limited resources. By appropriately fertilizing fields, we strive to reduce the environmental load on soil in order to preserve natural capital and seek to achieve sustainable agriculture.
In an effort to reduce the use of phosphate fertilizer, we are promoting various initiatives, including a preservation test of reduced phosphate fertilizer in fields conducted by the Hokuren Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives, contract producers, and Calbee Potato, ドラクエ 11s ジャック ポット the results of joint research with Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. ドラクエ 11s ジャック ポット the test results, fertilizers with low phosphoric acid content (BBS050, etc.) were launched by Hokuren in 2023.
