The World Needs Sustainable Biorationals

Food production is at a crossroads. By 2050, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations projects the world’s population will reach 9 billion people. At the same time, conventional pesticides used for decades to maintain crop production are undergoing intensified scrutiny.

Utilizing sustainable solutions in the management of disease vectors is becoming increasingly important in the fields of public and forest health. Today, vector control programs are moving their focus away from traditional chemistries to those that are protective of our precious natural resources.

The solution to these pressing sustainable issues? Biorationals.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

In 2015, nearly 200 member countries of the United Nations adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty, fight inequalities, and tackle climate change by 2030. Our technologies directly impact more than half of these audacious goals by:

Delivering crop protection products with low environmental impact : With no impact on pollinators, beekeepers apply our products to protect beehives during the winter.
Reducing postharvest food loss : Our RyzUp product is used on 40% of global banana exports and helps eliminate food waste by preserving post-harvest shelf life.
Protecting and preserving public health : 1.2 billion peoples’ lives have been protected from mosquitoes and disease by our products.
Protecting and preserving forest health :5.6 million acres of forest lands in North America have been treated with our biorationals.
Enhancing functional microbial diversity and carbon cycling : MycoApply products enhance plant productivity and long-term soil health, contributing to carbon sequestration.
