Commercialization of a stable earth block substrate

The global agricultural sector is facing major challenges, including the decreasing availability of farmland and food supply. Urbanization, soil degradation, and climate change have contributed to the loss of one-third of the world's arable land. These factors have driven governments worldwide to set ambitious targets. Here in Quebec, the goal is to double greenhouse production by 2025. In Singapore, the objective is 30% food sovereignty by 2030. These challenges highlight the urgent need for innovative solutions to overcome significant obstacles such as declining yields, climate disruptions, labor intensity, and high resource consumption.

HerbiaEra is revolutionizing transplantation. Our bio-based agglomeration solution creates stable soil blocks that can be handled by robots from the plant's early stages. This innovation enables automated transplantation, reducing labor costs by 50% and minimizing root damage.
