Cold-Climate Microbial Biostimulants for Global Agriculture
BioNorth Solutions proprietary cold-adapted microbial biostimulants are being developed to enhance crop growth while reducing chemical fertilizer dependence.
The Opportunity
The global biostimulants market is valued at more than $5 billion, driven by increasing demand for sustainable agricultural solutions and stricter regulations on chemical fertilizer use. BioNorth’s cold-adapted microbial products offer unique advantages in northern climates, with field trials demonstrating significant crop yield improvements and the potential to access premium markets for sustainably produced food.
The Challenge
BioNorth Solutions needed to transition from technology development to commercial market entry for their proven biostimulant products. With agricultural productivity required to increase by 70% by 2050 and growing demand for sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers and market competition, they needed experienced leadership to navigate the complex agricultural biologics market and secure strategic partnerships with major agribusiness players.
“Our cold-adapted microbial biostimulants offer a powerful solution that works with nature, not against it. By harnessing the power of beneficial microbes, we’re helping farmers achieve higher yields, improve soil health, and reduce their reliance on chemical inputs, which is creating a more sustainable future for agriculture and beyond.”
