Sustainability
Solar Park
In 2007, we became pioneers by installing a 100 kW photovoltaic plant with trackers connected to the grid. The success of this initiative led us to execute a second self-consumption project of 880 kW in 2019.
Biomass
We have installed a 14 MW biomass boiler for corn dryers, and in 2023, we commissioned another 4 MW biomass steam boiler for the new precooked flour line. With these latest additions, we can use clean, renewable energy to replace the LNG currently used (grain dryers, steam boilers, drying trommels, central heating, and other applications).
Vegetative Cover
To prevent soil erosion, improve soil structure, and add organic matter, we plant vegetative cover before the corn harvest. This way, by the time the corn is harvested, the vegetative cover is already established, ensuring the soil is never left bare.
Protection of Wildlife and Flora
At Quality Corn Group, we collaborate with SEO/BirdLife to protect and conserve local species, such as the European roller, by utilizing our natural spaces and installing 80 nesting boxes, among other measures, which we monitor annually.
We are also working with EcoBats and SECEMU to promote sustainable agriculture through the use of bat boxes. These bats not only aid in controlling corn pests but also contribute to biodiversity conservation with ecosystem-based management practices.
Resource Optimization
We work with various platforms to maximize the optimization of our water and crop protection resources.
Optimization of Fertilization and Variable Seeding
NDVI maps generated by multispectral drones allow for adjusting fertilization and variable seeding based on vegetation mass, maximizing crop yield and efficiency.
Optimization of Phytosanitary Products with Telespazio
Telespazio geolocates weeds in corn crops and applies variable phytosanitary treatments, achieving a reduction of up to 98% in the use of phytosanitary products.
Water Savings in Irrigation
Agrow optimizes irrigation based on soil type, climate, and crop needs, achieving up to 30% water savings.
