Agreement Date:
Mar 4, 2025 - Sep 30, 2025
Description:
Increasing food production sustainably and mitigating climate change are two of the biggest problems humanity currently faces.
Reazent has developed a patented technology that increases agricultural production sustainably and sequesters carbon in agricultural soil.
Reazent's products increase crop yield, control crop diseases, and sequester atmospheric carbon as increased organic carbon in agricultural soil. Using Reazent products, growers can increase their crop yield by growing more amount of crops per acre in fields or per square foot in the case of indoor farms as well as prevent their crops losses due to crop diseases. As a result, they achieve a very high return on their investments.
Over the past two years, Reazent has successfully completed several commercial demonstrations of its technology in various crops including high-value leafy greens, vegetables as well as row crops such as soybean and wheat. The company has also signed sales contracts with indoor farming companies that have achieved a very high return on their investment by using Reazent's products. With Reazent's technology, it is now possible to control many crop diseases sustainably and cost-effectively.
Reazent's biological platform is based on enhanced metabolic flux in beneficial microbes by activating genes that have important functions. Reazent utilizes this expertise to offer effective and superior solutions to a wide range of applications.
