We are excited to share our blog post, highlighting a revolutionary approach to meeting global protein demands while reducing carbon emissions. As the need for sustainable and efficient protein sources becomes more critical, insect farming is emerging as a key solution.🦗🌍 The global population is growing rapidly, and with it, the demand for protein is skyrocketing. Protein is essential not only for human nutrition, but also for raising livestock and fish. 🥩🐟 However, our current protein sources are struggling to keep up. Meat and fish supplies are increasingly unsustainable, contributing to #overfishing, #deforestation, and substantial greenhouse gas emissions. 📈 Even plant-based proteins like soy face limitations due to agricultural land constraints and environmental impact. 🌿 Despite efforts to reduce food production losses, there is an urgent need for new, sustainable protein sources to bridge the gap. 🚀Our portfolio company Protix, a leading player in the insect farming industry, offers an innovative solution to these challenges. Protix converts organic waste into high-quality protein and oils. 💪🏻This process not only reduces waste but also provides a sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources. Protix uses food waste as feedstock, making the process highly adaptable and reducing landfill. By 2030, a significant portion of fish and poultry in the EU could be raised on insect-based feed, thanks to innovative companies like Protix. 🪰 This shift not only helps in conserving marine ecosystems but also promotes a more sustainable and circular food economy. Insect farming supports the circular bioeconomy, promoting sustainability and financial returns. 💚 We're excited to partner with entrepreneurs driving this innovative industry forward.

🥩 🍳 🥬 🍎 🥕 🍔 Questions for the regenerative food producer camp: 1). Is your consumer that pays more for regeneratively grown food ALSO concerned with chem-free? 2). How do you prove your product is regenerative to the consumer? Just a certification? 3). If it is about outcomes, why are there so many certifications? 4). What happens when organic producers incorporate regenerative field strategies to improve ecosystem outcomes (mostly just emissions)? 5). Are conventional agri-chemicals good or bad for nature? 6). Why do regenerative advocates 💩 on organic instead of collaborate? #regenerativeagriculture #organicfood #conventionalagriculture #agriculture #food #farmers #conservation

🌍 Global Bio-Fertilizer Market: Cultivating a Sustainable Future 🌱 In today's agricultural landscape, the shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices is more critical than ever. Bio-fertilizers, derived from natural sources such as microorganisms, plant residues, and animal waste, are leading the charge in this green revolution. 🌾 💡 Why Bio-Fertilizers? 1. Sustainability: Bio-fertilizers enhance soil fertility and health without depleting natural resources or causing pollution. 2. Eco-friendly: They reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers, minimizing harmful environmental impacts. 3. Cost-effective: Offering long-term benefits, bio-fertilizers improve crop yield and quality without the high costs associated with synthetic alternatives. 4. Soil Health: They boost the microbial activity in soil, promoting better nutrient uptake and plant growth. 📈 Market Growth: The global bio-fertilizer market is witnessing exponential growth, projected to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 12.5% from 2020 to 2027. This surge is driven by increasing awareness among farmers, supportive government policies, and a growing preference for organic products among consumers. 🌟 Innovation and Opportunities: Microbial Inoculants: Harnessing beneficial bacteria and fungi to enhance nutrient availability. Organic Waste Recycling: Transforming agricultural and food waste into valuable bio-fertilizers. Precision Farming: Integrating bio-fertilizers with cutting-edge technologies for optimized application and increased efficiency. 🚀 The Road Ahead: The journey towards a sustainable agricultural future is paved with innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to environmental stewardship. As we continue to explore and invest in bio-fertilizers, we move closer to achieving a greener, more resilient global food system. Let's embrace the potential of bio-fertilizers to nourish our crops, protect our planet, and ensure food security for generations to come. 🌍🌱 KYMBA Chemicals #BioFertilizers #SustainableAgriculture #EcoFriendly #SoilHealth #GreenRevolution #AgricultureInnovation #GlobalFarming #FoodSecurity

🌱 Making a difference with every bite! 🌍 Let's dive into the second action item on our 37-week journey to help the environment through our food choices: buying organic produce. 🍏 Here's why choosing organic can have a positive impact: 1️⃣ Protects Soil Health: Organic farming practices prioritize soil health by avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which helps maintain soil fertility and biodiversity. 2️⃣ Reduces Chemical Runoff: By steering clear of synthetic chemicals, organic farming minimizes the risk of harmful runoff into waterways, safeguarding aquatic ecosystems. 3️⃣ Supports Pollinators: Organic farms often implement practices that support pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity and food security. 4️⃣ Promotes Healthier Communities: By choosing organic, we support farmers and communities that prioritize sustainable agriculture and prioritize the health of both people and the planet. 5️⃣ Reduces Exposure to Harmful Chemicals: Organic produce is grown without synthetic pesticides and herbicides, reducing our exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. Let's make a conscious choice to support organic farming practices and nourish our bodies and the planet with wholesome, sustainably grown produce. 🌱💧 Stay tuned for the next installment as we continue our journey toward more eco-friendly food choices! Together, we can cultivate a healthier and more sustainable future. 🌍💚 #OrganicFarming #SustainableLiving #EnvironmentalStewardship #HealthyChoices #ClimateAction The Lifestyle Suite

UPL Zeba™ is a patented, granular, free flowing technology in the category of soil conditioner / amendment, intended for in furrow application with a proven history in its ability to positively manage soil solution water whilst having a constructive impact on soil health parameters. Enabling growers to directly increase the efficiency of the water they use, along with soil solution nutrition, for the benefit of plants, soil and the environment. Being degradable Zeba leaves no residues across a wide range of applications. 📍Zeba increases the water holding capacity of a soil and helps in the reduction of leachates and associated contaminants to the environment. The retained moisture in the soil is also beneficial to the crops and the soil microbiome. 📍Zeba improves the nutrient-use efficiency in the rooting zone as it has positive interaction with essential soil nutrients. 📍Zeba Soil Health Management It has a positive effect on the soil microbiome supporting the soil. #uplzeba #upl

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IS POSSIBLE ONLY THROUGH SUSTAINABLE SOIL HEALTH. Nowadays, you'll find many articles on sustainable agriculture. Everyone is discussing #sustainableagriculture as a vital goal for ensuring #foodsecurity and #environmentalhealth. However, sustainable agriculture critically depends on soil sustainability. Healthy soil forms the foundation of a resilient agricultural system, providing essential nutrients, water retention, and a habitat for microorganisms important for plant growth. The degradation of soil through practices such as multiple crops in a year, not following crop rotation, and the overuse of chemical fertilizers has led to a decline in soil fertility. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, degrades soil health by increasing soil pH and decreasing nutrient uptake. This practice often overlooks other essential nutrients like sulphur, zinc etc., which are critical for maintaining soil health. Sulphur helps in maintaining soil pH, making other nutrients more available, while zinc enhances plant immunity against diseases. The same way every nutrient has a vital role in plant growth. By prioritizing #soilhealth and ensuring a balanced approach to nutrient management, we pave the way for a more sustainable and food-secure world. #SML is enhancing soil health with its innovative products like FERTIS, TECHNO-Z and IMARA.
