Feeding the Soil from the Sea
From fish waste to fertiliser, Biofert grows healthier soils sustainably.
From humble beginnings on a small Waiuku farm, the Sinclair family turned an inspired idea into one of New Zealand’s most innovative organic fertiliser companies. Feeding the Soil from the Sea traces the remarkable journey of Pacific Biofert — from Clive Sinclair’s early experiments using fish to feed pigs, to pioneering New Zealand’s first BioGro-certified organic phosphate fertiliser.
Blending Pacific heritage, Kiwi ingenuity, and decades of agricultural research, this story reveals how the Moana range and BioPhos were born — products that continue to support healthy soils, sustainable farming, and environmental stewardship today.
