Our Roots

Where Science Meets Sustainability in Your Backyard

2nd Nature was created by Oberland Agriscience Inc., to help gardeners grow healthier plants by starting with healthier soil. From our base in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we use black soldier fly larvae to transform food waste into two valuable resources:

  • BSFL frass, a nutritious organic fertilizer and soil amendment
  • BSFL protein for animal feed

By giving food waste a second life, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions by keeping it out of landfills, and create gardening products that work with nature, not against it.

A Product Made for Real Gardeners

Healthy gardens are built from the ground up. That is why 2nd Nature focuses on soil health first, giving home gardeners a more natural way to support plant vitality, root development, and long-term garden resilience.


Natural Soil Support: Our BSFL frass fertilizer adds useful organic inputs that help build better growing conditions.

Practical Sustainability: The same process that supports your garden also helps divert food waste from landfills.
