CSS News and Updates

CSS has partnered with the new Kings stadium in Sacramento to make the new arena one of the greenest sports complexes in the world. We will be making the food scraps from their kitchens into our H2H fertilizer at our new plant in McClellan Park.

California Safe Soil recently partnered with the Sacramento Kings to convert all of the stadium's food scraps from their kitchens to liquid fertilizer. The partnership was recently announced on Capital Public Radio (CPR) and discusses the stadium's efforts to become the greenest sports complex in the world.

California Safe Soil is proud to announce that we are finalists in Silicon Valley Forum's 3rd Annual World Cup Tech challenge in the AgTech Group on June 1st at Microsoft's Campus in Mountain View, CA.

As the winner of the Sustainability Award at last year's Forbes AgTech Summit in Salinas, California Safe Soil is looking forward to attending the event this year in support of this year's Startups.

As food waste becomes more of a known issue in our area and worldwide, California Safe Soil's mission to combat it is being recognized. We were recently mentioned in the SF Chronicle as a resource for recycling food waste from supermarkets as "restaurants and retail account for 40% of wasted food."

California Safe Soil is excited to have been selected as a finalist in a March Madness-like competition for startups in the Sacramento area. The competition was put together by the Sacramento Kings and Velocity Venture Capital for local technology companies.

With the next round of the Forbes Thrive Accelerator Program in the works for 2016, we've had a chance to reflect on our successes since our win at their inaugural competition last year.

On March 9, 2016, Dan Morash, founder of CSS, spoke on the innovators' panel at ReFED Roadmap launch at Stanford. The ReFED Roadmap is an incredible analytical platform that maps US food waste and as well as methods for combatting it. With 40% of food going to waste each year in the US ($218 billion), ecological sustainability is at the forefront of ReFED's mission to "Rethink Food Waste." The ReFED Roadmap found that within a decade, the US can cut food waste by over 20%, better the economy, reduce the use of national freshwater, double the number of meals for the hungry, and reduce nearly 18 million tons of greenhouse gases with solutions outlined in the report.

CSS's H2H fertilizer process was recently featured in The Californian as a growing success in the world of recycling food scraps. The article features an interview with Dan Morash, the founder of CSS, which details the process of creating H2H fertilizer, how it benefits the environment, crops of farmers who use it, and how it surpasses current food recycling methods.

CSS's push towards sustainable agriculture was recently featured in an article on takepart.com. The article discusses how Silicon Valley and vegetable growers are working together to disrupt farms to make agriculture more efficient and productive in Central California. The Western Growers Association's new Center for Innovation and Technology in Salinas is one of the many ways that CSS plans to get the word out about our revolutionary H2H fertilizer.
