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.

How are they Solving it?

Introducing our advanced smart biocapsule, crafted from fungi with integrated sensors for precise compound release. Noteworthy features include sustainability with 100% biodegradability, ensuring a healthier environment. It's non-toxic and non-immunogenic, prioritizing well-being for consumers and ecosystems. The advanced sensors identify pathogens and monitor environmental conditions, while its responsiveness to stimuli ensures efficient compound release. Added benefits include biological antifungal and antibiotic properties, enhancing overall protection. Our innovative solution transforms the food production chain with a sustainable, safe, and efficient approach to boost productivity while preserving the environment.
