NP Pathway to Solutions
The Nutrients PLUS Pathway To Solutions
Integrates an understanding of the needs of
various customers with the needs of the environment.
This approach inspires us to create innovative fertilizer solutions that serve customers and are in keeping with earth’s natural balance.
The NP Way
A new, complete and clear path
In the tradition of the indigenous people of North America, a great solution is one that considers all viewpoints. This can be applied to the business world when problems persist because other perspectives are not taken into account. The method for seeking counsel from multiple perspectives is still known as The Medicine Wheel.
Lead self-regulatory actions to improve water quality and the environment by reducing the overuse of chemical fertilizers through sound, research-based programs and fertilizers formulated with natural ingredients.
