DRAPER, Utah, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In a proud moment for one of the nation's fastest growing agriculture companies, Aqua-Yield has been named a "Green Award Winner" for its innovative efforts in environmental practices. The official announcement was made in Salt Lake City on October 19th.

The Utah Business Magazine award honors and recognizes companies, communities and individuals who are making strides in environmental sustainability.

The award represents the company's commitment to an environmental corporate culture and is a signature moment for CEO and Co-founder, Clark T. Bell. He said, "Aqua-Yield is committed to what we call 'SFTC3'; Solve for the crop, Solve for the Community and Solve for the customer. For Aqua-Yield, a quest to make fertilizer more efficient has resulted in significant water and cost savings for our customers." He continued, "Our patented and proprietary processes help plants better absorb fertilizer, grow faster and drastically reduce overall use of water. Two examples of this; for farming giant Del Monte, that meant a 60 percent reduction in phosphorus fertilizer and a 30–64 percent increase in yield. For Sumter Sod in Leslie, GA, growth cycle was cut by more than half, saving millions of gallons of water."

Aqua-Yield remains committed to "green" environmental practices and this award represents a company-wide commitment to protecting valuable resources through innovation processes. It is a testament to Aqua-Yield's overriding commitment to stay "green." "This award goes to our entire company and our innovative customers who took a chance on us," says Bell.
