FROM THE MAGAZINE: Deriving cosmetic #ingredients through alternate sourcing such as fermentation 🦠, upcycling and sustainable farming 👨🌾 will be critical to address #environmental challenges. Indoor farming or controlled environment #agriculture is one solution to fulfill the demand for sustainable 🌳 ingredients. This approach supports the growth of fresh products 🍎 sustainably, with #minimal use of land and water and greater control over the environment including potential contaminants. This article, from our July/August issue, by Vaijnath L. and Philip Shukla at ICSC, describes #precisionclimate farming to derive natural ingredients 🌱. Examples are given of arugala and cress #microgreens grown in this manner, which were extracted, stabilized and tested as described here to confirm their antioxidant levels, effects on the skin and incorporation into formulations ⚗. Notably, the microgreens 🌿 of plants in and of themselves have higher levels of antioxidants. Paired them with precision climate farming, however, can enhance these benefits while also reducing the impact on the environment. 🌏 #cosmeticscience #formulatingbeauty Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g9zHrSQA

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. Read the full blog article to learn more about this exciting opportunity! You can find the link in the comments. ⬇️ #sustainability #insectprotein #circulareconomy #innovation #futureoffood

🌍 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

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.
