Problem
Bacterial diseases, such as potato soft rot, cause significant crop loss, impacting food supply and agricultural productivity. Traditional treatments often rely on pesticides and antibiotics, which can introduce contaminants and negatively affect biodiversity.
Solution
AgraFilms develops biotherapeutics for agriculture, utilizing natural predation by recruiting amoebae to combat bacterial diseases in crops. Their approach harnesses the power of glycoside hydrolases and other enzymes derived from unmodified organisms to prevent crop loss from diseases like potato soft rot. By employing organic bioreactions, AgraFilms avoids the introduction of contaminants, enhancing food safety and preserving biodiversity. This biotechnology solution offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional pesticides and antibiotics.
Target Audience
AgraFilms targets agricultural producers seeking sustainable and organic solutions to prevent crop loss from bacterial diseases, as well as food companies aiming to enhance food safety.
