What's the Problem?

The broken food production chain demands our responsibility for a better future. In agriculture, current agrochemicals harm 30% of arable land, contributing to 14% of greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to biome degradation and water and food contamination. The industry faces challenges like high costs and resistance from pathogens. In the food industry, regulations demand healthier products, reducing preservatives, sodium, and sugar. The instability of biological solutions is a major challenge, hindered by adverse environmental conditions. Nano-encapsulation platforms are a potential alternative, but their toxicity, polymer use, and cost present obstacles for adoption.
