Nutriology®
At Omnia, we believe in a holistic approach to managing crops, in other words, we look after everything, just as our name implies (Omnia means “everything” in Latin).
In order to achieve this, we follow the Nutriology® concept (a word invented by us, meaning “the science of growing”). This means that we take an active interest in the growth of the crop, from before planting, to after the harvest.
This Nutriology® concept ensures that we also focus on the various elements which, lead to agricultural excellence, whether it refers to our product quality, relationships, facilities or technology. These elements are illustrated below (Hover over each element for more information).

- understand our clients' needs;
- evaluate the previous season’s yield and analyses and, adjust the strategy accordingly;
- assist in planting the next season's crop with our client; and
- become true partners in farming.
