…With Growing Needs
To meet future food demands, we will need to increase crop production by an estimated
70%...
…while also meeting a growing demand for greater sustainability in agriculture

Why Sustainability in Agriculture?
• Demand from consumers, governments, advocacy groups, large corporations
• Finite resources (e.g., crop inputs, land) • Global needs cannot be met by simply intensifying
current practices • Environmental and financial benefits of efficient
nutrient use • Sustainable practices can help growers responsibly
achieve yield gains

Agricen’s Biocatalyst Technology • A sustainable and cost-effective tool for agriculture • Can be used with existing practices • Allows farmers to increase yields while reducing
environmental impacts of traditional nutrient inputs • Key sustainability benefits:
– More nutrient uptake by the plant – Fewer inputs lost to the environment – Better crop tolerance to heat, drought and salt stress – Yield gains address need for greater agricultural
productivity
