FUTURE-PROOFING THE FOOD CHAIN

In a world facing the daunting challenges of climate change, environmental degradation and an ever-increasing population, the need for sustainable farming has never been more critical. While agriculture is essential for feeding the planet, it also accounts for 10-12% of all global emissions, surpassing the entire aviation industry.

Without safeguarding and regenerating the soil, it will be impossible to meet the food demands of the growing global population; the Bontera mission is to provide sustainable and environmentally responsible farming solutions that increase agricultural production while protecting soil and water resources from the harmful effects of chemical-based agriculture.

In future-proofing the food chain, their approach optimises the microbial communities of plants – a new and groundbreaking method to enhance productivity. Amongst other things, their products:

*adhere to the principles of organic farming and are free from synthetic chemicals;

*enable plants to access essential nutrients to promote robust growth;

*improve nutrient uptake by plants, leading to healthier crops and higher yields; and

*reduce the need for chemical pesticides and prioritise soil health.
