High-Performance Agroecology by VERTAL means combining VERTAL biostimulants and biosolutions with tailored support to ensure a successful and long-lasting agroecological transition for all agricultural professionals seeking high-performing alternatives. This combination of products and services is designed to promote a sustainable approach that respects the environment, animals, and people.
Agroecology: The French Ministry of Agriculture’s Definition
Agroecology is a way of designing production systems based on the functionalities offered by ecosystems. Nature and its terroirs therefore offer functionalities that can be used by farmers and livestock breeders to produce results in line with professional objectives.
Agroecology: A Path to Success for All!
Combining performance and purpose — a response to decades of post-war habits:
- In the aftermath of World War II, farmers were pushed to produce high volumes. Chemistry quickly took center stage to boost yields and fight pests.
- A few bold pioneers stayed true to their vision, despite strong industry pressure and a deeply conservative mindset. VERTAL, led by the conviction of its founder, has always remained true to its agroecological roots — where natural inputs and performance go hand in hand.
VERTAL rises to the challenges of modern agriculture with innovative solutions that combine productivity with agroecology. By putting life back at the heart of farming, VERTAL gives true meaning to the word ‘agroecology’.
This strong commitment drives every action VERTAL takes to restore life at the core of agricultural production systems — meeting the needs of sustainable, high-performance farming.
For today’s farmers and everyone involved in hands-on agriculture (cooperatives, distributors, advisors, etc.), one thing is clear: “We work for and with living systems.”
This consensus — both obvious and legitimate — stands in stark contrast to the methods and tools provided by the chemical industry over the past 70 years: tools that have, in reality, undermined life itself.
Lime, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides…
All these biocides (“...cides” and the like) need to be scaled back to make room for true promoters of life.
This isn’t just important — it’s vital for the future of agriculture and everyone involved, from seed to plate.
Farming: A World of Its Own, with Its Own Codes!
- VERTAL’s high-performance agroecology bridges a passion for living systems and the day-to-day reality of a profession under growing ecological, social, and regulatory pressure.
- At VERTAL, our mission is to harness the best of what nature has to offer — without forgetting that behind every traditional practice are passionate men and women dedicated to farming and livestock production.
- Being a farmer or livestock producer is more than just a job — it’s a way of life, where the health of crops and animals is essential to continue feeding people and sustaining a business and its employees.
- For VERTAL, agricultural progress isn’t about a clean break from the “bad” practices of the past toward some idealized future. It’s about guiding professionals toward more natural methods — without compromising productivity.
VERTAL’s Vision of Agroecology
Agroecological performance is measured by the potential of natural elements. The goal isn’t to intensify production — it’s to improve productivity through smarter, more natural methods.
With VERTAL’s product ranges — for soils, crops, effluents, and livestock — we help secure yields through natural solutions that allow professionals to be proud of their results.
That said, agroecology won’t deliver 110 quintals if you were already producing 90 using biocidal chemistry…
That’s what High-Performance Agroecology by VERTAL is all about: recognizing the real potential of nature — as long as its ecosystem is respected and enhanced. There are no miracles; crops can’t give more than what they’re naturally capable of.
That’s why VERTAL’s biosolutions are part of a set of agroecological practices that reduce and/or replace synthetic chemical inputs (chemical fertilizers and pesticides).
VERTAL’s natural products offer a reliable and effective alternative for conventional, organic, and conservation farming systems.
Change Course to Stay on Track!
Once the question of performance with agroecological products is answered, the next step is knowing how to move forward.
To advise, prescribe, or recommend products like those in the VERTAL ranges, you have to dare to step away from the path shaped by agrochemicals and pesticides — and head toward a future-oriented course.
Jump! Just Jump!
This is the Titanic paradox.
Some passengers refused to jump into the available lifeboats because the Titanic was still afloat — just barely. In the short term, they still trusted this “unsinkable” giant, even though no one knew if the lifeboats could hold up in the freezing Arctic waters...
Take the Plunge and Set a Sustainable Course!
- It’s the same story as the sinking ship — this time in the agricultural market...
- We all know that plant protection products are going under, but we’re so used to them that as long as a few remain, we cling to the deck — even though natural agroecological alternatives are right there, reaching out to us.
- But before switching, the most reluctant want strong guarantees and full reassurance — far more than was ever required for phytosanitary products, which are now at the end of their regulatory and health lifespan.
We must dare to choose agroecology — because it is PERFORMING by nature!
But What Evidence Supports This Effectiveness?
Thanks to the implementation of strict regulatory frameworks — marketing authorisations, CEPPs, CE marking, and more — today’s agroecological products have proven, and continue to prove, their effectiveness in full transparency.
And when some of these solutions have been used in the field for over 20 years, with consistent results and strong, positive feedback from customers, maybe it’s time to trust them — and DARE to move forward.
Why Choose VERTAL Biosolutions?
The design of VERTAL’s biosolutions is driven by a simple and obvious fact: all living things on Earth are part of a cycle — and when one link is weak or missing, the entire system suffers.
We work to restart this virtuous living cycle by delivering carefully selected ingredients for each link, creating new synergy that benefits both crops and/or animals — while also respecting the farmer’s budget.
We also ensure that our products are formulated without introducing exogenous organisms into the ecosystem, in order to preserve the natural biological balance as much as possible.
