FOOD SECURITY | FEEDING A GROWING WORLD is one of the global challenges for humanity
Crop losses are a major contributor to the food security challenge:
By 2050, 50% more food must be produced globally to feed 10 billion people.
​Meanwhile more than 1.2 billion tonnes of edible crops are lost due to climate change and environmental damage, pests and disease, and supply chain logistics.
Climate Change
By 2050, increased air pollutants and higher temperatures will increase crop damage by 20%.
Pests & Diseases
Up to 30% of the five major global crops are lost yearly due to insects and diseases.
Crop Spoilage
Up to 30% of crop losses are also due to lack of water and nutrients and high salinity in the soil.
BIOLOGY-LED COMPANY
We are a biology-led company creating innovation technologies to combat global crop losses:
When crop plants are stressed by drought, poor nutrients, pests or pathogens they release signature molecules before the onset of visible symptoms.
FITOvol's proprietary technology, FITOsense, enables translation of plant stress signals into real-time, accurate data for optimum growth management.

TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
Early detection is the enabler of next generation precision farming:
Data-driven sustainable agriculture
Stress detection will be enabled by FITOsense, a company proprietary technology platform which translates natural plant signals into diagnostic tools.
​
FITOsense is supported by our unique knowledge hub, FITOsci, our one-stop knowledge hub on crop stresses and their detection.
We aspire to become a partner of choice for precision farming
