Farmula

We have received the long awaited results of our 🌽 field trial and are more than excited to finally share them with you! In short - we were able to: - reduce mineral fertilizer application by 50% - having 20% more fresh weight - getting identical dry weight - getting identical protein levels ... like the control variant. How did we do it and what are the implications? Our control got 140 kg N and 82 kg P in several applications over the entire growing cycle. In our variant and technology, we only injected 50% of those nutrients and applied all of them during seeding. We also integrated other biologicals such as bio stimulants. The second time, we got back into the field, was only during harvest! As a result, the farmer did not only save fuel, time and machinery. We were also able to reduce CO₂ emissions by around 500 kg per hectare considering that the nitrogen emissions of 142kg from production and N₂O are about 1 ton per hectare. This independent field trial was a big step for us in our journey to make farming more ecological, economical and climate friendly with our biochar based seed coatings!

We were very honoured to have been invited by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification to present how our biochar based seed coatings can play a role in building up soils. At the COP16Riyadh it once again became obvious, how important our soils are to food safety, security and peace. If we do not start treating soils like we depend on them, it will be very challenging to feed 10 billion people in the years to come and preserve current ecosystems. Fortunately, biochar is a great solution to poor water and nutrient holding capacities which are the core problem of degraded soils. Biochar both retains water and nutrients and stays in soils for hundreds and thousands of years. With our coatings, we do not only reduce mineral fertilizer application significantly, enable whole new generations of biological plant protection products and reduce operational costs to farmers, but also bringe biochar into the soil - every time a seed is planted. Thank you for having us and allowing for all those great and inspiring conversations, especially at the #Business4Land site with Sarah Toumi, Werner Fischer from Catalyze Group and ChangeNOW which have done an amazing job in bringing so many various actors from different sectors together.

We are honoured to be part of COP16Riyadh next week and explain how our biochar seed coatings - Reduce mineral fertilizer application and CO2 emissions - Reduce operational costs to farmers - Improve soils by increasing humus levels every time you plant Hoping to enable farming in degraded regions with the help of United Nations and thank you for making this happen Werner Fischer!

Wir haben uns sehr gefreut, dass wir Farmula beim diesjährigen InvestorsDinner der #GrowthAlliance der #rentenbank präsentieren durften. Es waren tolle Gespräche und neue Kontakte dabei. Growth Alliance | AgriFood Maximilian Kafanke

Die Spannung steigt! Die Halbfinalisten des diesjährigen German Farm Startup Awards stehen fest. Aber wer hat es unter die Top 7 geschafft?     Wir stellen euch die Halbfinalisten vor:  Farmula GmbH: Entwickelt eine funktionelle Saatgutummantelung, die Pflanzen mit allen notwendigen Nährstoffen direkt am Samen versorgt.    noxt! sensortec GmbH: Bietet als KI-Enabler hochpräzise Sensorkonzepte zur tiefgehenden Erfassung landwirtschaftlicher Prozesse.    ZukunftMoor: Etabliert und bewirtschaftet Torfmoos-Betriebe und versorgt die Erdenindustrie mit nachhaltig angebautem Torfmoos.    Verdancy: Spezialisiert sich auf innovative Systeme zur Verabreichung von Pflanzenschutzwirkstoffen.    vGreens: Optimiert die Produktionsprozesse in vertikalen Farmen mithilfe von Software, um gleichbleibende Qualität und Quantität zu gewährleisten.    revoltech: Entwickelt eine umweltfreundliche, vollständig natürliche und recycelbare Lederalternative mit patentierter Plattformtechnologie.    Prefiro: Nutzt KI und Präzisionsrobotik, um Erntekosten zu senken und Landwirten eine langfristige Perspektive im Fachkräftemangel zu bieten.     Am 24. Oktober präsentieren diese zukunftsweisenden Startups ihre Innovationen beim Deutschen Bauernverband in Berlin vor einer Jury aus Branchenexperten und kämpfen um den Einzug ins Finale. Die Pitches finden im Rahmen des Initiativkreises Agrar- und Ernährungsforschung statt.  Es bleibt spannend – wer wird sich durchsetzen? Wir halten euch auf dem Laufenden! 

Farmula is thrilled to be part of the Top 100 Global Innovators list by SVG Ventures | THRIVE! Through our functional seed coating platform we are able to combine great quantities of different agricultural inputs at maximum efficiency. This leads to a reduction of CO2 emissions by more than 30% (corn). It also allows for novel solutions in biological plant protection. Products in development are bird repellents (corn), the rape flee beetle and a solution against the Syndrome Basses Richesses (sugar beet).

Danke an das Seedhouse, dass wir unsere funktionale Saatgutummantelung der Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen vorstellen durften und wir so viel gutes Feedback bekommen haben! Wir freuen uns auf die nächsten weiteren Schritte in der Zusammenarbeit.

100 million hectares of land are being degraded every year and valuable, fertile soils are lost. In order to reverse that trend, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification has set the target to restore 1.5 billion hectares of land by 2030. We are very proud, that we were asked by the UNCCD to present our technology at Cop16Riyadh. Why? With our seed coating, we are able to: ✅ Work biochar into soils which is able to store water and nutrients for many hundred years with every planting 🏃♀️Accelerate the creation of humus content in soils, restore them for future generations and store CO2 💪 Enable plants to better respond to heat by speeding up their internal transport system for water and nutrients 🌱 Allow plants to continue making photosynthesis at high temperatures and create more biomass Thank you again for that amazing opportunity Catalyze Group and Werner Fischer!

Meet the #SustainableFood #innovators of our #ImpactAccelerator! Today we introduce to you the #ImpactStartups working on solutions in the area of #FoodTech for #RegenerativeAgriculture: 🧑🌾 databaum — collects farm data to discover the most efficient way to increase farm income while decreasing pesticides used. This data will lead farmers to implement more #regenerativefarming practices at a time climate change is challenging farmers. Founding team: Luciano Moffatt & Saurabh Pandey, PhD 📡 CinSOIL — creating an AI-based tool that utilizes satellite data in order to help AgriFood businesses inset carbon emissions at the farm level. The tool empowers companies to increase revenue through its agricultural scenario analysis.
