String Bio is thrilled to be a part of the 2024 cohort of Technology Pioneers at the World Economic Forum! 🌏 Here’s an explainer video that illustrates our innovative solutions addressing #climatechange and #foodinsecurity. Using microbial factories 🔬 and efficient biological systems, we are creating clean, sustainable, and traceable ingredients that are economically viable and performance-differentiated. It's been an incredible journey with our team, and key partners!🎉

I write in The Sunday Guardian alongwith Jharna Kamdar on #India's path to #sustainable #agriculture. #Technology maturation, awareness creation, and retention of incentives for farmers is the three-pronged balanced approach needed to address the above mentioned challenges effectively. Recent advancements offer promising solutions that lift the burden of change from farmers while benefiting the entire agricultural value chain. One such innovation is #CleanRise, a microbial bio stimulant developed by String Bio Private Limited a Bengaluru-based #startup. CleanRise has demonstrated a 50% reduction in methane emissions and 40% reduction in nitrous oxide emissions, while increasing crop yields by 15-39% #Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world, especially in Asia. Rice makes up nearly 16% of the world’s calorie intake, with its consumption amounting to 520 million tons in 2022. The majority of rice production is concentrated in Asia with top 10 rice-growing countries accounting for 84% of the world's total rice cultivation. Paradoxically, rice fields are also a major source of two potent greenhouse gasses - methane and nitrous oxide. Methane (CH4), responsible for 30% of global temperature rise, has 86 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide.

India’s rice sector faces the dual challenge of declining rice yields and high GHG emissions. As ecosystem awareness rises, our product '𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐞' is gaining attention for its role in reducing GHG emissions from rice sector and delivering benefits across stakeholders. Moreover, it requires minimal application, comes at an affordable cost, and aligns with the call for sustainable and accelerated climate action in rice cultivation. 🌾 🌎 "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢’𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.

String Bio is honored to be a part of the Unreasonable Food Program in collaboration with Mars for the future of food, focusing on feeding a just and sustainable tomorrow. While new technologies promise a brighter future, we must address the flaws in our supply chains, food production, nutrient deficiency, packaging materials, ingredient safety, and farmer treatment worldwide. Our Managing Director, Vinod Kumar was part of some engaging discussions and brainstorming sessions last week with like minded folks from innovative companies around the globe catering to technologies that foster more sustainable development on food and the future of food. Congratulations to the other industry leaders and forward-thinking ventures selected to be a part of this program - 80 Acres Farms, Absolute®, Air Protein, Farmerline Group, LandScan, LOLIWARE Inc., MycoTechnology, Inc., Nitricity, Regrow Ag, Sea Forest, Voyage Foods, Xampla, Yard Stick PBC. Together we can create resilient, just food systems that benefit both people and the planet.

What a gift it was to launch Unreasonable Food with our partners at Mars. Last week we hosted our inaugural annual gathering just outside of London with the entire global leadership team at Mars Snacking alongside of 14 ventures that are uniquely positioned to re-define our food systems—towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable food future. More than 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity can be attributed to the way we produce, process, and package food. As one of the world's largest food companies with some of the world's most admired brands, I can't think of a better co-founder to be teaming up with than our partners at Mars. I know I speak on behalf of our entire community, our team, and our partners, when I say that we feel both blessed and privileged to be playing even a humble roll in supporting the courageous efforts of all the ventures below: 🌱 80 Acres Farms 🌱 Absolute® 🌱 Air Protein 🌱 Farmerline Group 🌱 LandScan 🌱 LOLIWARE Inc. 🌱 MycoTechnology, Inc. 🌱 Nitricity 🌱 Regrow Ag 🌱 Sea Forest 🌱 String Bio Private Limited 🌱 Voyage Foods 🌱 Xampla 🌱 Yard Stick PBC Special thanks to our partners and mentors without whom this effort wouldn't be possible...

Today, on World Environment Day 2024, we spotlight the critical theme of 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.  🌏 Land is not merely a passive backdrop to human activities; it's the foundation upon which our societies are built. From providing us with food and shelter to supporting biodiversity 🌿 and regulating the climate, land sustains life in all its forms. However, in recent years, we've witnessed alarming rates of land degradation due to various factors such as 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🌳✂️, 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 🚜, 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🏙️, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. The degradation of land has far-reaching consequences, impacting everything from food cultivation 🌾 to public health 🏥 and economic stability 📉. As global populations continue to rise, the demand for food and resources puts additional pressure on our land, exacerbating these challenges. At String Bio, we understand the interconnectedness of these issues and the urgent need for sustainable solutions. That's why our focus is on developing eco-friendly technologies that not only 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 but also 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 while minimizing land usage. As we commemorate 🌍 World Environment Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to protecting and restoring our land for the well-being of present and future generations 👶👵. Technology wields the power to address such complex issues and in the past few years the momentum has been positive. At String Bio, sustainability is at the core of our DNA and our vision to enable cleaner supply chains our north star. We hope for this momentum to accelerate rapidly and transform the green future into a green present. 🌿💚 #WorldEnvironmentDay #LandRestoration #SustainableFuture #StringBio
