TERRA INNOVA

Waste turned into real resources

Terra Innova recycles soil excavated from construction sites for use in agriculture. After agronomic and pollution analyses, this company, which is positioned at the crossroads of two sectors, construction and agriculture, recovers waste from the former into real resources for the latter. It was in 2018 that Nathaniel Beaumal, after a ten-year career in public works, chose to join forces with Pierre Anfray, agronomist and soil fertility specialist, to create TERRA INNOVA. Upstream, construction companies and local authorities benefit from support in the management of their excavated soil at a lower cost, for evacuation near the construction site while respecting the regulations governing the management of these volumes, estimated at more than 200 million tons per year, 93% of which are inert and without risk to the environment. Downstream, the land managed by this young company, which aims to provide a real agronomic benefit, allows local farmers to recreate fertile soils, to redevelop territories and to create resilient landscapes.

The creation of hedges on slopes to promote biodiversity and life, the installation of terraces to combat erosion, the reconstitution of fertile soils by improving their structure and water retention, the addition of mineral or organic amendments to enrich impoverished soils, are all solutions that TERRA INNOVA proposes and develops around its R&D center with its own cultivation chamber and its multidisciplinary team. Today, Terra Innova has agencies in Nantes, Paris, Lyon and Toulouse. This location allows us to cover the whole of France.
