Hurd3 was created by Nick Voase of East Yorkshire Hemp and Dr Andrew King on recognition of the fact that on-farm agronomy focused toward growing natural fibre crops has outpaced downstream process and materials innovation creating a bottleneck in market ready applications.
Zayndu uses cold plasma to prime sites at grower’s sites, using their ActivatedAirTM technology; this uses cold plasma to boost seed health and improve crop yields, without use of any chemicals. More yield, faster, without chemicals.
SugaROx is a spin-out from Oxford University and Rothamsted Research on a mission to develop single-molecule biostimulants to improve crop production.
Fertilisers for the 21 century. Tecnology fertilser to upgrading the crops, no waste and increasing revenues of the farmers
The CMI Roullier is the research & innovation hub of the French familial industry Groupe Roullier. Our aim is to develop highly technical bio-sourced products to meet the needs of crops and animals around the world, while respecting local specificities. From Irish pasture to Brazilian soya, from European dairy cattle to American poultry, our interdisciplinary researchers and field experts from 135 countries are always looking for innovative solutions in plant and animal nutrition.
Oxi-Tech provides a solution to cleaning water, without the chemical footprint. We have harnessed the most effective industrial biocide on the planet using just water and low voltage electricity in a natural process called Pulse Oxidation™. This technology has enabled us to develop a system that wipes out bacteria, wipes out viruses and wipes out the need for toxic chemicals, leaving pathogen free water.
We develop and supply new types of insect pest pheromones for smarter and more sustainable pest management. Our mission is to scale-up the production of high-value, not currently available insect pheromones and supply them into the agribusiness sector where they will be deployed to protect crops, incorporate a smarter use of pesticides and to help mitigate climate change.
RCN Ltd specialise in marketing a wide range of renewable fertilisers and excels at transforming low-value residues into high-performing agricuture fertilisers
N2 Applied aims to transform our food production systems by enabling a circular economy on farms. Our technology enables farmers to recycle nutrients to economically produce their own fertiliser and to do so while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resource efficiency. Millions of tons of ammonia are lost from livestock farms every year. Lost ammonia means lost nutrients needed for growing crops and feeding the planet. Ammonia losses to the environment at this scale is not sustainable. The extensive use of fossil fuel-based nitrogen fertiliser is a key hurdle to sustainable agricultural practices. Industrial fertilisers manufactured using Haber-Bosch, currently feeds half the world’s population. At the same time its manufacture alone counts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and more in its application. We take on Haber-Bosch! N2 Applied is developing plasma technologies that fix reactive nitrogen from the atmosphere and react these with the ammonia in manure or other organic material. The reaction stops ammonia losses, increases the nitrogen content and provides a fertiliser with the essential nutrients to grow crops.
Evoponic (est. 1991) creates specialist hydroponic feeds and biostimulants, and is now generating new technology in foliar feeding for agriculture, horticulture, home&garden and amenity. Evoponic is research based and sponsors PhD researchers as well as being awarded research grants by Innovate UK. It has links across the world from Brazil to China, and is recognised for creating world-leading technology in plant nutrition and biostimulation.
