The modern chemical fertilizer (N-P-K) theory originated in the now famous lectures that Justis von Liebig delivered before the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He argued that "the primary source whence man and animals derive the means of their growth and support is the vegetable kingdom. Plants, on the other hand, find new nutritive materials only in inorganic substances."
Simple logic then would hold that one could analyze the produce of an acre and "return the nutrients" removed for a maintenance fertility program, or add a little more and have a "build up program."
In some observations he made later, in 1843, Justis von Liebig, the father of NPK agriculture, made this statement:
"I had sinned against the wisdom of our creator, and received just punishment for it. I wanted to improve his handiwork, and in my blindness, I believed that in this wonderful chain of laws, which lies life to the surface of the earth and always keeps it rejuvenated, there might be a link missing that had to be replaced by me- this weak powerless nothing.
"The law, to which my research on the topsoil led me, states, 'On the outer crust of the earth, under the influence of the sun, organic life shall develop'. And so, the great master and builder gave the fragments of the earth the ability to attract and hold all these elements necessary to feed plants and further serve animals, like a magnet attracts and holds iron particles, so as no piece be lost.
Our master enclosed a second law unto this one, through which the plant bearing earth becomes an enormous cleansing apparatus for the water. Through this particular ability, the earth removes from the water all substances harmful to humans and animals-all products of decay and putrefaction, of perished plant and animal generations. "What might justify my actions is the circumstance, that a man is the product of his time, and he is only able to escape the commonly accepted views if a violent pressure urges him to muster all of his strength to struggle free of these chains of error. The opinion, that plants draw their food from a solution that is formed in the soil through rainwater, was everyone's belief. It was engraved into my mind. THIS OPINION WAS WRONG AND THE SOURCE OF MY FOOLISH BEHAVIOR.
"When a chemist makes mistakes in rating agricultural fertilizers, don't be too critical of his errors, because he has had to base his conclusions upon facts which he can't know from his own experience, but rather, has to take from agricultural texts as true and reliable. After I learned the reason why my fertilizers weren't effective in the proper way, I was like a person that received a new life. For along with that, all processes of tillage were now explained as to their natural laws. Now that this principle is known and clear to all eyes, the only thing that remains is the astonishment of why it hadn't been discovered a long time ago.
The human spirit, however, is a strange thing; 'Whatever doesn't fit into the given circle of thinking, doesn't exist."
This information coupled with the appalling state of our health is the reason for our quest to "RESTORE LIFE TO THE SOIL" through the use of "ACRES nano organic fertilizer".
It is our social responsibility and moral right to leave the earth in a better condition than we found it. The least we can do is to restore our degraded farmlands to the original condition that our ancestors left for us; fertile, unharmed. Since we all eat but we're not all farmers, we can make a collective financial effort through "ACRES OF CHANGE" to support those who grow our food. This would at least ensure that we get clean and healthy food to eat, while concurrently restoring life to the soil. If we fail to do so, farming is a business, and whatever chemicals a farmer must employ to improve yield and increase his returns he will, and we cannot blame him for his actions due to our inactions.
What we need to introduce to the next generation is good body chemistry through proper nutrition. In fact, it will be prudent to require all young women of African descent to go through "pre-conception" nutritional education, and we must make available such good nutrition. Good body chemistry maintained from childhood will produce human beings of physical perfection in form and line. Child actors and actresses of today need not continue to develop physical proportions. Thick legs, heavy hips, bad curves at the knee, all these things can be corrected during growing years by proper nutrition and that can only come from a healthy soil.
What we need is to apply the same standards of perfection to people that we do to farm animals and machines. The basic reason for doing so may be economic, aesthetic or a desire to see human beings give the most to life and receive from it the maximum in health and happiness. Whatever the reason, IT IS FOLLY TO LET OUR CIVILIZATION RUN ITSELF INTO THE GROUND BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO APPLY OUR INTELLIGENCE TO THE PRESERVATION OF A RACE OF HEALTHY PEOPLE.
We think of ourselves as individuals but we are also links in a long chain; a chain that goes back to the beginning of our ancestors existence. If over a period of a hundred years each link in the chain became one per cent weaker than its predecessor, the end of the race would be near. And yet, one per cent weakening in each generation would be so slight as to be imperceptible. What is actually happening is that the increase in disability is so rapid that it can be seen. Grandchildren in general have less body resistance and are more subject to ills than their grandparents were at a like age. If we do not wish to become a subjugated people or extinct, we must go back to the rules of nutrition- NO HARMFUL THINGS and ALL OF THE ESSENTIALS.
Our bodies are today the same mechanical contrivances that they were thousands of years ago, and thousands of generations ago the chain was very strong. We talk about our heredity- we brag about it- but what we have was given to us- what we should be sure of is, that we pass along to the next generation as good as we have received.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
Step 1: Make a legacy contribution of $100/Acre or more on our website or through our partner organizations; ADDI (African Diaspora Development Institute), ICAD (International Conference of Africans in Diaspora).
Your contribution is used to purchase ACRES Nano Organic Fertilizer (which includes a field support service & training program for the farmers).
Step 2:
The products are delivered directly to select farmers (within a network of farmer groups) in a Country of your choice (currently in Grenada). You may choose both Countries if you sponsor multiple acres.
Step 3:
The farmer then applies the product to his/her field with support from our field staff and go about their farming maintenance routine as usual.
Step 5:
At the end of the growing season, the farmer harvests, sells their produce and use part of their proceeds to reinvest in the fertilizer for the next growing season.
Step 6:
Your contribution lives on forever and as a note of thanks to your generousity, a stand or tree will be erected on each acre of land you have contributed to restoring, thereby ensuring that your legacy lives on for generations to see and benefit from.
*each farmer will contribute 10% of their produce at the end of each growing season to help create and support community organic food banks.
