Replenish Nutrients co-founder and CEO Neil Wiens speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's focus on regenerative fertilizers.

Replenish Nutrients specializes in mineral-based fertilizers made from rock phosphate, elemental sulfur, potash, and organic matter. What sets its products apart is the incorporation of proprietary biology, ensuring active biological mineral nutrients are released at the right time and place. The company targets the commercial farming sector in Western Canada, covering a substantial 100 million acres.
