	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” Continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. Previously, there was no guidance under US GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). For the period ended September 30, 2014, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that substantial doubt has not been alleviated about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company continues to explore further significant sources of financing, management’s assessment was based on the uncertainty related to the amount and nature of such financing over the next twelve months.

Going Concern Disclosure [Abstract]
Going Concern Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 2 – Going Concern
	The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred losses from operations of $2,156,428. At September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $26,953,371 and a working capital deficit of $6,759,922. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. The Company believes that future private placements of equity capital and debt financing are needed to fund our long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. The Company is continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve our working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

Factoring Payable [Text Block]	Note 3 – Factoring Payable
	On May 24, 2011, ESP Petrochemicals entered into an accounts receivable financing agreement with Crestmark Commercial Capital Leading, LLC (“Crestmark”) with an initial term of nine months and renewing semi-annually thereafter. The agreement is in the subsequent renewal period. The Company may obtain advances of up to 90% of eligible accounts receivable, subject to a factoring fee of 0.75% per 15 days, with 10% held in a reserve account, which is released to the Company upon payment of the receivable. The agreement is subject to a master note, which limits borrowing to $2,000,000. The master note is payable upon demand, or if no demand is paid, with monthly payments of interest at 1.5%. All outstanding principal plus accrued unpaid interest is due on maturity of the note or when the related invoice is collected. The master note is secured by all inventory, accounts receivable, general intangibles, and equipment of the Company. On March 2, 2012, Crestmark increased the borrowing limit to $3,000,000. On August 1, 2012, Crestmark increased the borrowing limit to $4,000,000. The total borrowing under this agreement at December 31, 2013 was $1,093,593 with $113,589 held in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.
	On August 15, 2014 ESP Petrochemicals, Inc., (the “Company”) a subsidiary of ESP Resources, Inc. entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Transfac Capital, Inc., which served to replace the agreement with Crestmark. On October 1, 2014 the Factoring agreement was amended. The Factoring Agreement has an initial term of two years (“Contract Term”) with automatically renewing successive Contract Terms.  The Factoring Agreement may be terminated by the Company at the end of a Contract Term by providing notice to Transfac no more than ninety and no less than sixty days before the end of the current Contract Term.  Transfac may terminate the Factoring Agreement at any time upon thirty days’ notice of an event of default.  Under the terms of the Factoring Agreement, Transfac may purchase any accounts submitted by the Company.  The Company shall pay a servicing fee equal to the greater of 0.75% or $10 and will be subject to others fees and charges and may be required to establish a reserve account as set forth in greater detail in the Factoring Agreement set forth as an exhibit to this current report and incorporated herein by reference.  The Factoring Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and personally guaranteed by David Dugas and Tony Primeaux and guaranteed by ESP Resources, Inc. and ESP Ventures, Inc. The total borrowing under this agreement at September 30, 2014 was $1,152,790 with $308,960 held in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

As part of the agreement the Company granted the holder 150,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share through April 8, 2014. The Company determined the fair value of the common stock and warrants to be $10,500 and $2,458, respectively.

The Short-term debt on the demand note as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $150,000 and $150,000, respectively, excluding accrued interest.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued notes payable to finance its insurance with an aggregate principal amount of $292,227.  The notes mature in 1 year, bear interest of 5.70% per annum and require equal monthly payments.

	On November 14, 2012, the Company received proceeds of $1,000,000 from the sale of 16% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the “November 2012 Debentures”). The November 2012 Debentures were due on March 1, 2014. The aggregate principal amount of the combined November 2012 Debentures is $1,000,000 with an interest rate of 16% per annum. The interest is payable quarterly on March 1st, June 1st, September 1st, and December 1st, beginning on March 1, 2013. The November 2012 Debentures are convertible at any time after the original issue date at a conversion price of $0.085 per share, subject to adjustments. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the conversion feature and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $421,715. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.07; term of 1.5 years; expected volatility between 112% - 159%; and discount rate of 0.22% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expired March 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815 and determined and recorded a $449,840 derivative liability. The Company, in its sole discretion, may choose to pay interest in cash, shares of Common Stock, or in combination thereof. At the Company’s election, it may, at any time after the six-month anniversary of the transaction’s closing date, deliver a notice to the holders to redeem the then-outstanding principal amount of the November 2012 Debentures for cash. In the event the Company defaults, the outstanding principal amount of the November 2012 Debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holders’ election, immediately due and payable in cash. In addition, the investors received 100% of the number of shares of common stock that the purchase amount would buy in warrants at the conversion price of $0.09, or a total of 11,764,706 warrants with a 5-year term. The Company recorded a discount from the relative fair value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the conversion option of $208,685. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.07; warrant term of 5 years; expected volatility between 112%-593%; and discount rate of 0.63% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires March 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the warrants under ASC 815 and determined and recorded a $222,603 derivative liability. The November 2012 Debentures are secured by the remaining unencumbered assets of the Company. The Company’s subsidiary companies guaranteed the security agreement by agreeing to act as surety for the payment of the November 2012 Debentures. As further consideration, the Company issued a combined total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to the investors, which the Company recorded as a debt discount of $299,600 at issuance and will amortize the debt discount over the term of the debt. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company amortized $5,912. The Company shall take all actions necessary to nominate and recommend shareholder approval for the appointment of one director selected by Hillair Capital Management LLC to ESP’s Board of Directors. In conjunction with this debenture, the Company paid $70,000 of professional fees and recorded these fees as a debt discount to be amortized over the term of the debenture. The Company determined that the Debenture and warrant had derivative features and derivative liabilities were established for each.
	On September 30, 2013 the Company agreed with its convertible debenture holders to amend and restate the November 2012 Debenture. The September 1, 2013 payment obligation was extended and deferred to $375,000 on December 1, 2013 and $625,000 on March 1, 2014 plus accrued interest; the conversion price was amended and restated to $0.05 from $0.085; the related warrant exercise price per share of the common stock was amended and restated to $0.075 from $0.09. The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments and ASC 470-60, Trouble Debt Restructurings by Debtors and concluded that the revised terms did not constitute a substantial modification or a troubled debt restructuring. The amended and restated exercise price of the warrant and conversion price were valued as derivative instruments and were revalued at the fair market value of the derivative instruments at September 30, 2013.
	On December 20, 2013 the Company agreed with one convertible debenture holder to amend and restate the November 2012 Debenture amended previously on September 30, 2013. The December 1, 2013 payment obligation was extended and deferred to $281,250 on June 1, 2014 and $468,750 on September 1, 2014 plus accrued interest. The Company issued 5,000,000 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price per share of $0.075 and a term of 5 years. The amended and restated exercise price of the Warrant and Conversion price were valued as derivative instruments and were revalued at the fair market value of the derivative instruments at December 20, 2013 as debt discount. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model with the following assumptions: stock price on the measurement date of $0.07; term of 1.5 years; expected volatility between 123% - 143% and accounted for them as debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the loan which expires September 1, 2014. The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815 and determined and recorded a derivative liability for these warrants at $13,365 and included them in debt discount. The Company estimated the conversion option of this debt conversion feature at $158,612 and included it in debt discount. The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments and ASC 470-60, Trouble Debt Restructurings by Debtors and concluded that the revised terms constituted a substantial modification which resulted in a debt extinguishment. The Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of $310,767 during 2013. Accrued interest of $12,000 was incorporated into the reissued convertible debenture principal amount.
	On December 1, 2013, March 1, 2014, June 1, 2014 and September 1, 2014 the Company failed to make the amended principal payment on one if its convertible debentures dated November 14, 2012, as amended on September 30, 2013. This convertible debenture is now in default. Under the terms of the convertible debenture all principal payments are now due and reflected as current and the interest rate increased to 18%.
	As of September 30, 2014 these convertible debentures are in default and have been classified as current maturities.

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block]	Note 10 – Derivative Liability
	The Company evaluated whether its warrants and convertible debt instruments contain provisions that protect holders from declines in its stock price or otherwise could result in modification of either the exercise price or the shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements. The November 14, 2012 16% convertible debenture and associated warrants included down-round provisions which reduce the exercise price of the warrants and the conversion price of the convertible instrument if the company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. The Company determined that a portion of its outstanding warrants and conversion instruments contained such provisions thereby concluding they were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.
	The range of significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities (a level 3 input) at September 30, 2014 is as follows:
			Warrants				Debentures
	Stock price			$0.01				$0.01
	Term (years)		3.3	-	4.4			0
	Volatility		162%	-	202%		162%	-	202%
	Risk-free interest rate			0.98%				0.04%
	Exercise prices		$0.08	-	0.002		$0.05	to	0.02
	Dividend yield			0.00%				0.00%
	The range of significant assumptions which the Company used to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities (a level 3 input) at December 31, 2013 is as follows:
			Warrants				Debentures
	Stock price			$0.02				$0.02
	Term (years)		3.9	-	5			0.75
	Volatility		123%	-	143%		123%	-	143%
	Risk-free interest rate			1.75%				0.13%
	Exercise prices		$0.08	-	0.002		$0.05	-	0.02
	Dividend yield			0.00%				0.00%
	The Company estimated the fair value of these derivatives using a multinomial Distribution (Lattice) valuation model. The fair value of these derivative liabilities at September 30, 2014 was $260,676, and at December 31, 2013 was $263,875. The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities resulted in a gain of $3,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
	●	Level 1 -	unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	●	Level 2 -	inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
	●	Level 3 -	unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
	This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
	To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include our period end stock price, historical stock volatility, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in significant fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded.
	The following table sets forth the fair value hierarchy within our financial assets and liabilities by level that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014.

Guarantees [Abstract]
Guarantees [Text Block]	Note 11 – Guarantee Liability
	On November 3, 2008, ESP provided a guarantee to a director of Aurora and Boreal who loaned $120,000 to Aurora and Boreal. ESP provided this guarantee to encourage the director’s continued employment and commitment to the development of the concessions held by Aurora and Boreal, which the Company believed was vital to the future success of Aurora and Boreal. In the event that Aurora and Boreal did not repay the loan by the due date of June 1, 2009, ESP guaranteed it would make the payment in the form of a convertible note due June 1, 2011. The convertible note is non-interest bearing and is convertible into common stock of ESP at $1.20 per share. In exchange for issuing the convertible note to the director, ESP will receive the right to receive payments under the director’s note receivable from Aurora and Boreal.
	ESP recorded the fair value of the guarantee liability at $48,000, which represented the fair value of the note receivable from Aurora and Boreal which ESP would take over from the director. On June 1, 2009 when Aurora and Boreal did not make the required payments on their notes payable to the director, ESP determined that the value of the guarantee liability should be increased to the full face amount of the guaranteed note of $120,000, resulting in a loss on guarantee liability of $72,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no changes in the matter from 2011 through 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014, hence the balance remains the same.

	On June 16, 2011, Alfredo Ledesma and Turf Chemistry, Inc. filed their original Petition against ESP Resources, Inc., ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. and Gerard Allen Primeaux in the District Court, 93rd Judicial District, Hidalgo County, Texas. On August 19, 2011, ESP Resources, Inc. filed its Original Answer to the Original Petition. On January 23, 2012, Alfredo Ledesma and Turf Chemistry, Inc. filed their First Amended Original Petition. On April 11, 2012, Gerard Primeaux filed his Original Answer. On May 10, 2012, Alfredo Ledesma and Turf Chemistry, Inc. filed their Second Amended Original Petition. On January 17, 2014, Alfredo Ledesma and Turf Chemistry, Inc. filed their Third Amended Original Petition. The Petition alleged that ESP had breached, by failing to satisfy the terms of the agreement and pay the agreed upon amounts, the letter of intent to enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement between ESP and Ledesma and Turf, whereby ESP agreed to acquire the assets and liabilities of Turf and relieve Ledesma of certain debt obligations. On February 14, 2014, ESP Resources, Inc., ESP Petrochemicals, Inc. and Gerard Allen Primeaux filed their First Answer, Special Exceptions, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims. On or about April 25, 2014, all parties, without admitting liability, entered into and executed a Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims. As part of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay consideration of $150,000 to Mr. Ledesma of which $75,000 was paid on April 25, 2014, the remaining payments will be made in monthly installments of $7,500 beginning May 1, 2014. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the remaining amount of a loan on one of the Turf assets, net of proceeds from the eventual sale of that same asset and up to $5,000 for closure costs of the Turf entity and issue 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company estimates a net contingent payable of $103,937 and $181,437 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company has been unable to meet the payment outlined in this agreement and is in technical default.
	Legal proceedings
	Daniel A. Spencer v. ESP Advanced Technologies, Inc.
	The District Court of Caddo Parish, Louisiana entered a default judgment in favor of Daniel Spencer and against ESP Advanced Technologies, Inc. on October 17, 2013 for $3,500,000, together with future interest from October 14, 2013, until paid, at a rate of 20% per annum for default after service. All of the operations of ESP Advanced Technologies, Inc. were discontinued on June 11, 2013. The Company believes this judgment is without merit and will vigorously pursue post-judgment remedies to set aside the judgment and have it annulled under Louisiana law. Management does not consider the potential for loss to be probable. Accordingly, the judgment amount was not accrued as of September 30, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” Continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. Previously, there was no guidance under US GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). For the period ended September 30, 2014, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that substantial doubt has not been alleviated about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company continues to explore further significant sources of financing, management’s assessment was based on the uncertainty related to the amount and nature of such financing over the next twelve months.
