ATLANTA, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- ProGro BIO announced today that it is providing its
100% natural and organic microbial soil inoculant, Rhizol, and
application knowledge to Sustainable Liberia, a US non-profit
501(c)3 organization with a mission to counter hopelessness by
creating sustainable communities in Liberia. Sustainable Libera's
platform spans several dimensions including infrastructure
restoration, economic empowerment, leadership development,
evangelism & discipleship, and education & job
training.
ProGro BIO provided Rhizol for application in two locales:
Frank Town and Careysburg, both in
Liberia, West Africa. Rhizol was targeted for use on
tomatoes, peppers, basil, collards, corn and several other local
vegetables and herbs. These large grows in these communities are
used for economic empowerment to the citizens of these
communities.
Sustainable Liberia was founded
by Dr. Jessy Togba-Doya, a native of
Balama, Liberia who at a young
age, was taken from his family into a life of servitude. Dr.
Togba-Doya said, "We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity
to work with ProGro BIO. In the absence of commercial fertilizer
due to exorbitant cost, Rhizol has been a miracle for our community
gardens. Comparisons between our Rhizol-treated and untreated
garden plots were astounding including higher levels of retained
moisture, lower levels of weed growth and more vibrant and lush
yielding plants".
Blake Young, ProGro BIO Chief
Executive Officer, commented "We were honored to consider and work
with Sustainable Liberia on this project. Not only did the ProGro
mission for advancing sustainable and regenerative agriculture fit
perfectly with this opportunity, but our company's mission to
empower and support less fortunate communities with capabilities
and knowledge aligned perfectly with Sustainable Liberia and the
results achieved are another example of the efficacy of our
powerful microbial soil inoculant, Rhizol.
