The mastery of Vetiver grass can be applied as a solution in a multitude of fields for erosion and sediment control,
wastewater treatment and disposal, and environmental protection.
VETIVER, NATURE’S ANSWER
With roots stronger than most tree roots, the ability to improve soil fertility and absorb elevated toxicities
in soil and water, Vetiver is both a protector and rehabilitator. A tool designed by nature
with the capacity to minimise our human footprint.
