Compost Enhancement
In conjunction with Peat’s Soils and Fight Food Waste CRC, NUE Lab are developing smart formulation organic fertilisers.
Healthier foods
Biofortified with micronutrients essential for a healthy human diet
Smart formulation
Our formulation includes slow releasing macro- and micro-nutrients needed for optimal plant growth
Happy farmers
100% organic, sustainably sourced, produced from ‘waste’, and bioavailable to plants
Our fertiliser blend is scientifically developed to ensure both farmer and crop are happy. Our formulation uses natural processes to convert ‘waste’ products, which nutrients aren’t as available to plants, into a fertiliser which feeds the plant when they’re hungry

Prof. Susanne Schmidt
Susanne’s passion for plant nutrition has resulted in a diverse research portfolio at the intersect of agriculture and ecology. Her research focusses on tropical plants, soils and microbes – from fundamental to applied.
As an educator, she coordinates and teaches undergraduate courses in plant science and ecology. Students graduating from her team work in industry, academia and government.
Michael Walsh
Michael’s Ph.D looks to improve regenerative agriculture through the use of sustainably sourced and recycled ‘waste’. Michael has a special interest in phosphorus materials, microbiology, and soils. His background in geology and food science gives him a holistic approach to improving Australia’s agriculture from fertiliser development to farm, plate, and nutrient recycling.
