McAllen, Texas-based SiCar Farms has set zero-waste sustainability goals.

“Reducing our ecological footprint is aimed at supporting soil fertility, biological activity, and plant growth,” SiCar Farms CEO Luis Gudino said in a news release. “We base our initiatives on the zero-waste philosophy. It is important to SiCar Farms to implement sustainable alternatives that benefit our environment, the economy, and its people.”

The company elevates sustainable agricultural practices, materials management, agricultural initiatives, and efficiency programs that are focused on food safety, social responsibility and zero-waste, company officials said in the release. SiCar Farms says it is committed to being a completely sustainable company to industry and the environment, with initiatives and practices including pest control, beekeeping, soil improvement and bio inputs research.

“Sustainable food has been a rising requirement among U.S. consumers,” Gudino said. “We have a determined commitment to the environment, sustainability, and processes of developing and implementing initiatives to minimize ecological impact.” 

SiCar Farms’ staff will be exhibiting its fresh products and taking questions about the company's sustainability goals at booth No. 814 during the Viva Fresh Expo, set for April 11-13, in Houston.
