3. THE PRESERVATION OF HABITATS<br />

<strong>NUTRILITE</strong> ® farms require the preservation of natural ecological areas – on the farms and along roads<br />

and waterways – to sustain native plant and animal species, and to limit erosion and water contamination.<br />

4. WIDE-BASED SOIL NUTRITION<br />

Nutrilite replenishes the soil, rather than depleting it, by maintaining it with natural materials.<br />

We grow cover crops specific to the nutritional needs of the soil at each farm and create compost<br />

from manure from the farm’s livestock to further enrich the earth.<br />

5. NO CONTAMINATION<br />

Nutrilite avoids the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. We also use natural,<br />

environmentally friendly methods to control weeds, insects, and other harmful predators.<br />

6. SEED PRESERVATION<br />

Nutrilite saves seeds as an environmentally sound practice and to support the economics of local<br />

farmers who do not have to purchase new seed yearly.<br />

7. TRACEABILITY<br />

Nutrilite records every element ever added to or taken from the soil, to guarantee the quality<br />

of the land and the plants grown on it. Traceability includes tracking crop rotations, to the kinds of<br />

seeds used and when they were planted.<br />

8. SOCIAL LIFE<br />

Nutrilite views the farm as an organism in itself, and also sees the community surrounding the<br />

farm as an extension of that organism. Nutrilite ensures that the farm will provide economic security<br />

and sustainability for people in the community by providing adequate health-care benefits for farm<br />

employees and education for the children in the area.<br />

9. CONTINUAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT<br />

<strong>NUTRILITE</strong> farms are constantly researching new varieties and species of plants and the<br />

technologies required to stay at the forefront of sustainable farming and nutritional products. A<br />

commitment to continued research improves the botanicals that become <strong>NUTRILITE</strong> concentrates,<br />

and increases the sustainability of <strong>NUTRILITE</strong> farms.<br />
