Innovation

At Bettergrow our teams focus on innovation and continuous improvement optimises operational efficiencies. Investments in cutting-edge equipment at our Ravensworth site including the advanced composting and screening machinery efficiently abides with environmental requirements.

Bettergrow's management experience in receiving, handling, and processing large volumes of organic waste ensures our composts are fit for purpose, tested and cleared for pathogens, parasites and viable seeds. Modern machinery maps strategically all product placement and tracks productivity metrics. The equipment design enables minimised field traffic, timely and efficient operations in all weather conditions.

At Bettergrow's other site’s purpose built ripping and mounding machines optimise seedling planting at scale. Our trucks have real-time logistics and board driver assist technology. This minimises fatigue risk and provides real time driver efficiently feedback to continuously monitor driver and truck safety.

Climate Resilience

Bettergrow plays a vital role in building climate resilience in agriculture, mine rehabilitation and forestry. By using renewable resources, we enrich soil organic matter and support long-term resilience to climatic variability. Our geographical spread of regional operations provide versatility in variable weather conditions, as well as allowing a strategic risk management program and response plans for fire, flood, and drought.

Building soil resilience using organic inputs providing food for crops and the soils microbes, and enhancing the physical soil characteristics, is a key objective of Bettergrow. Bettergrow composts made from organic material diverted from landfill and carefully processed and screened when applied to soil in agriculture, urban amenity or site rehabilitation allow the improvement of the physical (carbon), chemical (nutrients & trace elements) and microbial components of your soil in every application. Building a healthier soil is building a sustainable future.


Soil Carbon

Through a large-scale soil carbon project at Warragundi Aggregation, Bettergrow supports soil health, biodiversity, and landscape health. We know that healthy soils are more productive, profitable, and resilient. By compiling Bettergrow’s experience, we can foster shared learning in agriculture, strengthening regenerative and sustainable practices across Australia. Learning together with our expertise can drive meaningful change for the future of Australian agriculture.
