In light of the anticipated need for a 50% increase in food production by 2030 to support a global population nearing 9 billion coupled with the demands for 45% more energy and 30% more water all while reducing emissions we are dedicated to narrowing the agricultural yield gap and reducing the carbon footprint of this sector which is currently responsible for 30% of global emissions.
