In today’s world, the challenges of climate change, food security, and resource depletion are more pressing than ever. At Lucent Bio, we are committed to addressing these issues head-on by developing innovative solutions that promote both economic and environmental prosperity. One such solution is Nutreos, a non-toxic, plant-based, biodegradable micronutrient seed coating that is revolutionizing sustainable agriculture.
To support the adoption of a climate-smart agri-food system, Lucent Bio commissioned SAISS, a third-party expert consultant, to evaluate the environmental footprint of Nutreos. The findings of this comprehensive study highlight Nutreos’ superior environmental performance compared to conventional seed coating technologies.
Key Findings from the Environmental Footprint Analysis:
1. Significantly Lower Environmental FootprintNutreos has a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to conventional seed coating technologies. This is a crucial advantage as it aligns with global efforts to reduce the agricultural sector's environmental impact. By choosing Nutreos, growers can contribute to a more sustainable and greener future for agriculture.
Nutreos avoids microplastic pollution by utilizing plant-based biodegradable materials instead of fossil fuel-derived polymers. Traditional seed coatings often contain fossil fuel-derived polymers that contribute to microplastic pollution. Nutreos, however, is made from plant-based biodegradable materials that do not release microplastics into the environment. This not only helps in preserving soil health but also protects the broader ecosystem from the harmful effects of microplastics.
Nutreos contributes to mitigating climate change and air pollution by replacing conventional plastics with natural biodegradable biopolymers. This innovation reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants associated with traditional seed coatings. As a result, Nutreos supports cleaner air and a healthier planet.
Leading the Way in Climate-Smart Agriculture
Nutreos represents a significant advancement in seed coating technology, offering benefits for both the environment and agricultural industries. By reducing the environmental footprint, avoiding microplastic pollution, and mitigating climate change, Nutreos is an impactful tool for promoting sustainable agriculture and paving the way towards climate-smart agri-food systems.
As we continue to navigate the challenges of climate change, food security, and resource depletion, innovative solutions like Nutreos are essential. At Lucent Bio, we are committed to driving the transition to a sustainable agri-food system, ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.
