🌾 SugaROx is transforming agriculture with its precision biostimulants, designed to boost crop yields sustainably. Backed by 25 years of research initiated by Rothamsted Research plant biologist, Matthew Paul, into the role of a specific sugar called trehalose-6-phosphate, or T6P, their patented technology enhances carbon allocation in plants, delivering yield increases of up to 22%. Many promising new technologies in the UK fail at field stage due to a difficult investment environment. Learn more about SugaROx's journey and how they are overcoming challenges in regulation, funding, and adoption to bring its innovative solution to market - helping farmers meet food demand while reducing agriculture's carbon footprint. https://lnkd.in/ebYaUZDR #Sustainability #AgriTech #Innovation #Biostimulants #Entrepreneurship #Investments

Anyone in lovely Antalya for Growtech 2024 this week? look up PheroSyn for a chat on how to manage pests in a more efficient, sustainable and affordable way with complex pheromones
Thrilled to be heading to Growtech Antalya 2024 this week, the world's largest exhibition for greenhouse and controlled environment technologies and a dynamic meeting point for innovation in agriculture. The event attracts over 600 exhibitors and 50,000 visitors from 125+ countries, showcasing cutting-edge solutions in greenhouse systems, irrigation technologies, seed development, and more. This year, I’m attending with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to foster international collaboration and explore opportunities for advancing sustainable agricultural practices. A key focus will be engaging with regulators and agricultural ministers to discuss policies that support innovation and sustainable growth across the sector. I’m also excited about the opportunity to build strong partnerships across the region, which are essential for scaling innovative solutions globally. Additionally, I’m looking forward to participating in thought-provoking sessions like the Growtech Agriculture Talks and connecting with global leaders to explore partnerships that drive forward solutions in integrated crop management and beyond. If you’re attending, let’s connect to exchange ideas and insights that can shape the future of agriculture! 🌱🤝 #AgricultureInnovation #GrowtechAntalya2024 #GreenhouseTechnologies #SustainableFarming #AgriTech #IntegratedCropManagement #SmartFarming #ClimateSmartAgriculture #TradeAndInnovation #DBT #CollaborationInAgriculture #FutureOfFarming #Agtech #GrowTech
