Entry Overview
Described by one judge as “truly revolutionary”, Pivot Bio is aiming to disrupt the carbon intensive fertiliser industry with its first-of-a-kind microbial biofertilizer. In contrast to traditional nitrogen fertiliser, the production of which generates 500m tonnes of CO2 every year, Pivot Bio’s microbes harvest nitrogen from the air and convert it into the ammonia crops need to grow. The product has already been deployed on more than 1m acres of crops, offering farmers an economical solution while drastically reducing emissions.
