OUR MISSION
We aim to change the future of our food supply by
providing products that enable everyone to grow safe,
affordable organic food.

2. WHY?
VISION
“Conventional Agriculture is not sustainable
because it depends heavily on petroleum
based fertilizers and pesticides.” - ISCOWP
Introduction
Agrarian Organics is the manufacturing and sales outlet for AO®
Products.
The company began in 2011 with likeminded business partners seek-
ing a worthy alternative to the dated, dangerous, and non- sustainable
methods used in food and livestock production. Fueled by their shared
vision to promote the safe, effective and simple farm-life principles of
past agrarian civilizations, they launched Agrarian Organics and its line
of ocean-harvested trace mineral products designed to safely replace
the use of chemical fertilizers.
Agrarian Organics Inc. is based out of Vancouver, BC, Canada, and has
manufacturing and shipping outlets in Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA,
USA. To date, Agrarian Organics products are sold in over 500 locations
(including Whole Foods and Safeway) throughout the US, Canada, and
the UK at a variety of retail outlets with national rollout strategies with
several large retailers across these markets. World-wide, global distribu-
tion is planned by the end of 2014. Additionally, our chicken feed prod-
ucts are currently being successfully used by organic chicken farmers.
Decades of shortsighted industrial farming practices have left
our soil damaged, our water polluted, and our food severely
depleted of nutrients. We aim to inspire logical thinking about
the methods used to grow food, and to make switching to
safe, organic growing practices both simple and risk free for
both farmers and home gardeners alike.
It’s been said that every generation has something to fight for.
Ours is food. The quality of our food is in a rapid decline due
to a number of threatening factors, not the least of which
is the overuse of harmful pesticides and chemical fertilizers
that, over the years, have depleted the rich mineral content
of the soil we depend on so heavily to nourish our crops
and feed our livestock. By replenishing the soil with added
minerals, active bacteria, and nutrients, we are on our way to
repairing our damaged ecosystem and securing the future of
our food sources. Eventually, we envision a generation (and
hopefully generations) of farmers, families, and individuals,
employing safe and sustainable organic growing methods to
grow the food we eat. Agrarian Organics is poised to deliver
its AO® products directly to farmers and poultry providers,
thus improving the way we grow, sustainably.

3. A (very brief) primer to why we need
AO® and trace minerals
Since the beginning of the so-called “Green Revolution,” a new
paradigm of modern industrial agriculture was introduced. It
promised the elimination of fungal and bacterial pathogens,
reduction of insects and pests, and eradication of weeds from the
fields by means of poisonous chemical fertilizers. With this new
paradigm, soil condition became poor and plants were left in a
weakened and nutritionally deficient state.
As we can see today, the “promises” of modern agriculture have
not been fulfilled. Indeed, today agriculture faces even more severe
challenges than it did in the past. Disease, insects, and weeds have
all continued to flourish, proliferate and grow stronger, rapidly
developing resistance to an endless succession of newer and even
stronger, more harmful pesticides.
This self-perpetuating cycle has come at a cost that is greater than
many realize. The true cost begins with the bill of goods sold to the
farmer, followed by the seldom-considered environmental costs
of producing such materials and delivering them to the farm. Even
greater and more disastrous, has been the cost of soil degradation.
In time, the growth cycle produced through the use of synthetic
chemical fertilizers causes the soil to lose its organic materials and
subsequently, ever-increasing quantities of fertilizers are needed to
achieve their desired results. Both the costs and the hazards increase.
This situation has resulted in crops that contain far lower levels of
minerals and vitamins that, prior to the only recent instigation of
the current “Green Revolution,” were more abundant in our food
supply. It has been well documented that plants, in fact all life
forms, require a broad diversity of trace minerals to be healthy and
effectively fight disease. These trace elements have become severely
depleted in our soils and in our crops as a result of recent agricultural
practices.
In order to build a regenerative agriculture that focuses on rebuilding
soil and restoring plant health to its former high level of inherent
potential we need to find a way to replace the dense nutrition and
trace minerals missing from our soil. AO® has the way.
In our business, we’ve used our environmentally friendly, patented
technology to harvest deep ocean minerals supplements in a variety
of applications and continue to experience profound results with all
varieties of plants, crops, and livestock. Our research indicates that
the results cannot be easily replicated using other substances. AO®
products are unique.
AO® supplements are an integral, even imperative, part of restoring
agricultural potential. The benefits of using AO® supplements are
vast and include a reduction in costs to farmers, implicating them as
an indispensable tool in agricultural restoration. It’s time for AO®!

Farming
AO® provides farmers with the compounds needed to obtain
better yields, ensure quality and freshness and maintain
optimum soil fertility. AO® have been used extensively in both
the developed and developing world; substantially improving
yields, increasing drought and cold tolerance, rebuilding soil
fertility, and boosting plant health.
Enhanced nutrient uptake, improved keeping qualities,
higher Brix readings and reduction in insect and disease
damage allows farmers to safely reduce NPK application
and simultaneously provide customers with the highest
quality and taste possible, all at a very low cost. AO®
augments organic practices by providing the ocean’s wealth
of elemental and complex carbon compounds. This results
in production and nutrition never before seen in modern
agriculture.
Based on minimal applications of 2 gallons per acre, applied
at two intervals per growing season (1 gallon at planting and 1
gallon midseason) AO® consistently demonstrates:
Average crop yield increase of 15% to 35%
Shortened growing cycle
Reduced drought stress
Reduced cold stress
Reduced over watering stress
Improved nutrient uptake
Improved soil tilth and aeration

Using AO® makes it possible to reduce fertilizer inputs
and improve soil micro flora populations. Over a 2 year
period of supplementing his crops with AO®, a popcorn
farmer (shown in table) reduced his harmful nitrogen
inputs by 30% while increasing his yields above the state
average.
AO® was introduced at the beginning of year 2. During the same period potassium input was also
reduced by 7.5%. In year 3 the crop came in 2 weeks earlier than others planted in the area. This a typical
trait of crops treated with AO®.
AO® recommends reducing your inputs by at least 10% each year, but not exceeding 20% in any given
year. Both crops and soil differ depending on a variety of factors, location and weather may dictate
necessary adjustments in quantity and frequency of application.

6. AO® is an inexpensive, yet invaluable
addition to any hydroponic application.
Hydroponics
Given the limited access to overall nutrition and otherwise sterile
environment of hydroponic operations, AO® are found to be
especially useful by providing an entire spectrum of missing
nutrients unrivaled by any other product or application on the
market.
It can be used as a foliar feed and is a potent and cost effective
choice for all soilless applications. At a 1% or 2% solution, nothing
rivals trace mineral supplementation in cost or performance. Not
only does AO® provide essential nutrition, but it contains naturally
occurring ionized potassium that cause stoma guard cells to open,
eliminating the need for additional and expensive surfactants or
absorption products.
Whether used as a foliar feed or added to a reservoir,
supplementing soil with otherwise missing nutrients, helpful
bacteria and minerals provided by AO®, virtually all your feeding
and input requirements can be supplied by just one, inexpensive,
environmentally safe, sustainably harvested product.

7. Livestock & Poultry
Because we feed on both plants and animals, and both of those food
sources feed on currently nutritionally deficient soil, livestock and
poultry is also in need of trace mineral supplementation. All cellular life
can assimilate much more trace nutrition that what it is being fed. It
simply needs to be available.
Supplementing trace minerals to animals is common practice, and the
mineral, or element in salt form, is generally tailored for the particular
animal. With this current practice, trace minerals added to animal feed
come in the form of industrialized or synthetic salts. Rarely, if ever,
are they offered as a natural mineral. Macro minerals, such as calcium
carbonate, may come in natural form, but lack bioavailability and as
such are poorly assimilated by the animal. In addition to their lack of
acceptable bioactivity, industrial salts are typically processed by treating
rocks with acid. Through the assistance of microbes and enzymes
plants can break down industrial salts, but animals, including humans,
are not as equipped to break down these elements; the best means of
absorbing minerals is through food— real food.
AO® fills this gap with its patented 89 trace mineral elements and
carbon compounds. It’s easy to use and can be used in multiple
applications; in drinking water, added directly to feed, or as part of a
holistic approach, used as a foliar or drench application to the grasses,
legumes, oil seeds and other animal feed. Because AO® are naturally
occurring and derived from ocean water, applying it to food bearing
crops, grown for animals or people, is the best way to assimilate
minerals into the body.
AO Trace Minerals® provide the essential nutrients animals need for
metabolic functions such as growth and development, immunity
and reproduction. Even moderate deficiencies can adversely impact
animal performance. The following chart provides information about
the various functions of each trace mineral, as well as signs of a trace
mineral deficiency.

8. Findings
LIVESTOCK
2007: A dairy farmer in Vermont treated part of his fields with AO®.
He said that whenever the cows were turned into the AO® treated fields
to graze, the butterfat content of their milk would increase noticeably.
2008: A farmer in the Midwest did a test with a 4 acre hay field. AO®
was used on one half of the field and the other half received only normal
fertilization. Later in the season cattle were turned loose into the field.
The cows ate the forage in the AO® treated portion of the field down
to the ground before they moved over to graze on the conventionally
treated half of the field. In this case the greener grass that the cows
preferred was not on the other side of the fence.
2008: A certified organic dairy farm in the Midwest treated their hay
fields with AO®. During the winter, when the dairy cows were fed on
the dried hay from those fields, they ate from 25% to 30% less hay than
normal because their hunger was more readily satisfied with the nutrient
dense fodder. The farmer stated that he has a lot more hay left in the
barn than is normal for this late in the winter.
POULTRY
10% size increase in both roosters and hens.
10-20% increase in egg size after 7 months of use.
Lower feed costs: Birds gradually consume less feed per pound
of weight gained.
Lower costs in general: enhanced immunity to disease and
improved mortality rates, especially within the first month, translate into
a decreased need for antibiotics and growth hormones.
Increase in growth rate, bird and egg size, as well as reduction
in chemical processing translates into a higher market value and a
greater ROI.

9. The AO®
Challenge
Commercial Agriculture
We are requesting facilitation of the following:
• Introduction of AO® to all available agricultural farmland
monthly in both conventional and organic farming.
• Introduction of AO® to all organic and non-organic
hydroponic agricultural operations.
• Introduction of AO® to all organic and non-organic livestock
and poultry producers.
Retail & Manufacturing:
Also, AO® is entering into all big box retail markets with our existing
line of ready-to-use, organic trace mineral plant growth aids
designed for the home gardener. (Please see attached brochure for
product description)
To facilitate efficient retail operations, AO® will be initiating
local manufacturing outlets. Not only will this reduce harmful
environmental pollutants associated with long distance land and
air travel, but will support our retail efforts and provide jobs to the
community. The more retail business guaranteed to us, the more
jobs we can provide to local citizens.
Also, AO®’s manufacturing process produces no externalities
or carbon outputs. AO® is a clean and simple process of water
reconstitution.
For better or worse, we base business decisions on costs. AO® solves cost issues while both
enhancing the environment as well as the nutritional value of the food we eat. It’s time for AO®!

10. Cost Benefit Analysis
Costs
2 gallons per acre
at $20 USD/gallon = $40/acre
Savings
Most farmers spend upwards of $200 per acre on fertilizing costs. Supplementing with AO Trace Minerals® and reducing all other inputs by 10% to
20% within the first year results in product costs that are no more per acre than current fertilizing costs. With AO® costing only $40/acre, farmers
stand to generate more profit in produce per acre, while spending the same or less on inputs just within their first year of supplementation. As you can
see from the illustration above, the cost savings would continue to double in the second year, and so on and so forth.
AO® is not only an overwhelming economic benefit but also a socially conscious way to live our lives.
It’s time for AO®!

11. First, there’s the environmental damage and impact on human health caused by chemical N-P-K fertilizers. Then, there’s the problems of overuse.
Excessive doses of some nutrients is a direct cause of other nutrient deficiencies.
And there’s the build-up of chemical Salts – because these fertilizers are, by definition, SALTS. Everyone knows salt is bad for agriculture.
On top of all this is the terrible toll that fertilizer manufacturing takes on the environment and the people who live near the factories. They pollute.
They’re dangerous. Remember the Bhopal fertilizer plant explosion in India in 1984? The Toulouse fertilizer plant explosion in France in 2001? On our
own shores, the worst accident involving fertilizer took place in 1947 in Texas, when 600 people were killed and 3,500 people were injured; it was
part of the testimony presented in July 2005 before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which was studying national security risks.
Let’s look first at the ingredients in a balanced fertilizer: N-P-K.
Q: What are the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers;
potassium fertilizers; nitrogen and phosphatic fertilizers?
Nitrogen (N), is the most common element in our atmosphere. It comes in different forms:
Elemental N, NO3- (Nitrate), NO2 (Nitrite), NH4+ (ionized Ammonia), NH3+ (poisonous
Ammonia gas) and others. Nitrogen is also an essential nutrient; all plants and animals need it
to survive. It’s essential to the Chlorophyll molecule. Too much, or the wrong kind of N, will
damage or kill these organisms. N is especially toxic to fish and invertebrates. It’s also toxic
to humans; people who depend on rural, private wells for their water source have one of
the higher rates of a condition called Methemoglobinemia, aka Blue Baby Syndrome, which
damages blood cells and is traced to high Nitrates.
Articles in Science Magazine submitted by the International Nitrogen Initiative last May inspired
‘Reactive Nitrogen: The Next Big Pollution Problem’ on the Wired Science website. It describes
a litany of problems and warns us, ‘Nitrogen pollution could eventually render entire stretches
of ocean dead, as is now the case in the Gulf of Mexico, where fertilizer runoff has created a
5,800 square mile dead zone.’
None of this is new. It’s just worse. And that’s just the N.
Gulf of Mexico - 5,800 square mile dead zone

12. Unlike Nitrogen, Phosphorus (P)and Potassium (K) are immobile in
Soil. Feldspars and Micas contain most of the Potassium in our Soil. K in
fertilizers is almost always applied as Potassium Chloride from mines in
Canada.
K dissolves in water. P does not. Instead, it binds to Soil particles and
stays put until some nice microbe comes along and un-locks it. Clay
Soils tend to keep the strongest grip on it; Sandy Soils are looser and let
it drizzle through.
Phosphate and Potash fertilizers don’t just raise the chemical P and K
levels; they also add damaging Soil Salts. And although most Soils in the
U.S. have perfectly adequate levels of Phosphorus and Potassium, and
even though they don’t need any more from your fertilizer, people use
them anyway. This is a problem because too much Phosphorus locks
other nutrients OUT of plants.
Iron and Zinc deficiencies are common in Soil over-loaded with non-
dissolving P. A fatal disease in livestock called ‘Grass Tetany’ -- a complex
condition linked to Mg deficiency in cows and other ruminants -- is
examined by French author André Voisin: ‘Excessive and repeated
dressings of Potassium fertilizers cause Magnesium deficiencies in plants,
particularly Grasses...’ It’s even bad for the animals that depend on them;
they too develop Mg deficiency.
Organic Phosphates provide energy for chemical reactions in plant and
animal growth and cell reactions. But too much and you end up with
growth out of control. When this happens in a lake, you find so much
growing going on that they run out of Oxygen; you end up with a lot of
dead plants and animals.
Phosphate pollution is so bad in some areas, people are pushing for
a ‘Phosphate Fertilizer Act’ to deal with it. Phosphorus would be legal
only if a Soil Test showed it was needed; only if you were planting new
Seed or installing new Sod; or if you’re a licensed greenskeeper at a golf
course.
You can see how hard fertilizer companies would push to block this law.
Their profits depend on getting people to use fertilizer ALL the time, not
just when they need it.
Making Phosphate fertilizer is no picnic, either. That’s a big problem in
Florida, where it’s a billion dollar industry. Phosphate fertilizer contains
radioactive lead and polonium.
Mine the Phosphate and you end up with radioactive by-products. As
environmentalist George C. Glasser points out, ‘Phosphate fertilizer
manufacturing and mining are not environment friendly operations...
People living near the fertilizer plants and mines, experience lung cancer
and leukemia rates that are double the state average.’
...continued.

13. Potassium (K) is essential for plant growth. K is generally not considered
an environmental problem; in parts of the world where high levels were
recorded, industrial waste (and not fertilizer) was blamed. Plants absorb K very
efficiently when it’s dissolved in the water in your Soil. As with P, too much K
in your Soil will chemically lock out other important micronutrients. Calcium
and Magnesium are 2 elements upstaged by too much K in Soil.
Now, we all know that Salt damages plants. A Chemical fertilizer is,
technically, a Chemical Salt: an Ionic Compound. It can be produced by the
reaction of an Acid and a Base; by combining a Cation (positively charged Ion)
and an Anion (negative charged Ion) or a Metal and an Acid.
A Salt gets its name from the Cation, followed by the name of the Anion. NaCl
- Sodium Chloride, aka Table Salt, is a Sodium Cation bonded to a Chloride
Anion. (NH4)2SO4 - Ammonium Sulfate, the preferred N fertilizer for Lawns
and Golf Courses, is an Ammonium Cation and a Sulfate Anion. Ca(NO3)2
- Calcium Nitrate, a Calcium Cation and a Nitrate Anion. CO(NH2)2 is Urea,
the most inexpensive Nitrogen fertilizer, made of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and
Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) (Ammonia bonds directly with Acids to form
‘Ammonium Salts’).
That, in a very large nutshell, is the problem with chemical fertilizers.

14. It’s time for AO
Conventional Farming
The Incredible Economic Benefits of AO® Crop Fertility are Now Available from Agrarian Organics USA Ltd.
Increase Nutrient Density. Restoring nutrient density to crops begins with restoring usable mineral values to soils. Minerals in an ionic form are
required for a plant to build mineral and vitamin content. With increased topsoil minerals, the content of plants can increase nutrient density
systemically. The complete primary, secondary and trace mineral package contained in AO® Crop not only contains chelated minerals, but
actually facilitates additional transfer of soil minerals into a form that plants can use. The result is a more nutritious crop, and a crop that is itself
healthier and better able to resist disease and weather stress.
Building Sustainable Soils
AO® Crop provides growers with the very best usage of
conventional fertilizers and the proven benefits of organic
based fertilizers.
• Remediates worn and damaged soil
• Sustains soils for longterm profitability and yields
• Decreases levels of required nitrogen inputs
• Increases levels of soil organic matter
• Increases systemic sugars & nutrient density
Lower Overall Input Costs
Many growers only consider the costs of fertilizers when making their fertilizer
buying decision. Conventional growers using generic NPK formulations based
on synthetic nitrogen find that a successful crop requires the use of fungicides
and herbicides. They automatically assume that mineral / microbial rich fertilizers
require the same array of agriculture chemicals required by conventional NPK
fertilizers. The arrays of agriculture chemicals used by most conventional
growers are simply often not necessary with AO® Crop. Agrarian Organics offer
a grower the opportunity to grow crops with less toxicity and less overall input
costs.
Science
Research has proven that synthetic nitrogen fertilizers slowly
work to destroy topsoil carbon fertility. AO® Crop fertilizers
work to provide crops with greater levels of energy using
chelated, ionic, carbon based fertility. The increased levels of
usable humic carbon sequestered in the soil as the result of use
of AO® Crop fertilizers rapidly restore and rebuild worn soils.
NPK Nutrients - Sustainable conventional farming
AO®Crop provides nonorganic farmers with the benefits of increased
sequestered or locked up NPK fertility along with proven micronutrient elements.
AO®Crop micro and ultra-trace elements enhance uptake speed by the crop
while fortifying and building soil humic values. The combination of chelated
primary, secondary and ultra-trace minerals, combined with millions of microbial
life forms builds soils while providing crops with the necessary nutrients to grow
to their full genetic potential.
