Bio-Cycle Solutions has found an innovative way to keep organic waste out of the landfills.

Their product Bio-Sul, is a sulphur fertilizer which uses organic matter from grocery stores, such as canola oil and bread.

Products not purchased at grocery stores are collected in Calgary. They are then turned into a brine, which the sulphur is added to, and then spread on the fields.

Matt Gosling with Bio-Cycle, says landfills are a thing of the past.

"We're refining the product, and screening it and cleaning it up, and making sure it is very friendly for our soil and our farmers. It's not going in the landfill where it will never be seen again. In a sense, it is a bit of a first world problem because of the amount of food that we waste in America, so we're reallocating resources."

What is also beneficial to producers, is the product doesn't leach away in the first year of application because of the variety in particle sizes. Bio-Sul provides about six to eight years of sulphur nutrients.

Gosling adds, canola is not the only crop in need of sulphur.

"One of the biggest misconceptions out there in the agronomy world is sulphur is needed on every crop, not just canola. Pulses absolutely love sulphur, our cereal crops are much more efficient with ample sulphur, so we're typically getting six to eight years worth of sulphur requirements out of one application."
