Farmers gather in Kelowna to strengthen soil and sustainability

When farmers come together, the entire field grows stronger. Last week, Agrotek Industries and Alba Organics brought this spirit of collaboration to life in Kelowna, hosting an intimate, hands-on workshop focused on soil health and sustainable fertilization practices.

The event gathered 20 farmers and growers eager to explore new ways to enhance soil performance, boost crop yields, and reduce dependency on synthetic inputs.

Led by Robby Gass, soil consultant and founder of Alba Organics, and Jonathan Mathias, CEO of Agrotek Industries, the session combined practical experience with innovative insights into soil biology, biostimulants, and humic acid applications. Participants engaged in meaningful discussions about improving nutrient efficiency, supporting long-term soil resilience, and adapting sustainable approaches to different crop types — from berries and leafy greens to vineyards.

The positive feedback was immediate. Many attendees expressed interest in hosting exclusive follow-up workshops for farmers in Kamloops and vineyard producers in the Okanagan, underscoring the growing demand for localized, knowledge-driven learning opportunities.

We are proud to work alongside farmers to deliver practical, science-backed solutions that help increase organic production, improve soil performance, and reduce environmental impacts. By sharing knowledge and building partnerships across the agriculture community, Agrotek continues to support growers in achieving stronger, more sustainable results — today and for the next generation.
