CroBio

At CroBio, we're on a mission to reshape the future of agriculture by harnessing the power of enhanced microbes. Our vision is clear: to provide an environmentally sustainable solution that not only addresses the pressing global issue of agricultural drought, but also contributes to mitigating the effects of climate change through innovative carbon sequestration strategies.

In our quest for a greener tomorrow, we've found a remarkable ally beneath our feet – the soil itself. It's within this intricate ecosystem that we uncover the key to redirecting carbon and driving positive change.

Last week - we were invited to take a look around the AYA Earth Partners Hub in São Paulo - the first and largest business ecosystem dedicated to accelerating Brazil’s regenerative and zero-carbon economy. 

This innovative hub creates a space for Brazil’s game-changing, climate-tech disruptors to meet, collaborate and connect - all with the aim of working towards Brazil’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2030.

As #CroBio seeks to establish itself and expand within South America, we look forward to working alongside the many individuals and exciting companies leading the way in revolutionising climate-tech. 🌿

It’s been a great few days at World Agri-Tech!

It’s amazing to see all the innovation happening in South America and loved getting to meet lots of you in-person. 

Businesses that grow in partnership with nature are the future for Ag, especially in the biological space 🌱 🦠 🌎

Our Land, Our Future - #GenerationRestoration for World Environment Day 🌍

Unsustainable consumption patterns are resulting in pollution, waste and the loss of biodiversity. Over 1/5th of the world’s land is degraded, which affects 40% of the world’s population - that’s roughly around 3.2 billion people! While humanity depends on the health of our #planet, the combination of #pollution and climate chaos is creating damaging long term effects.

These unsustainable practices are resulting in what’s known as the “triple planetary crisis”, which consists of: 
🚨 the crisis of #climatechange, 
🚨 the crisis of nature and #biodiversity loss, including #desertification, 
🚨 the crisis of #pollution and waste.

World Environment Day, held every year on the 5th June, has been led by the UN Environment Programme (#UNEP) since 1973. The day aims to raise awareness about major environmental problems, including pollution, climate change and more - and invites millions of people to take action in order to protect the #environment and planet. Hosted in Saudi Arabia this year, the World Environment Day theme focuses on “land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience.”

You need to check out these amazing companies who are focussing on innovations in these areas to work towards restoring the environment - 
🌱👨‍🌾 AgriLedger - Using blockchain solutions, Agriledger is at the forefront of driving a transformative shift towards a more sustainable, equitable, and efficient agricultural sector.
🌎🚰 CroBio® - Aiming to create an environmentally sustainable solution to alleviate global agricultural drought and help reverse the effects of climate change, through durable carbon drawdown.
