We have a vision of
“Agriculture without Externalities”
We believe solutions start at the seed. And when we have the ability to quickly and affordably evolve any crop – we can create a world where the Ag Sector doesn’t come with a downside. Where hard working farmers don’t have to worry about downstream consequences. A world where growing food improves ecosystems instead of taxing them. That’s how nature has been doing it for millions of years. With better crops, we can too.
Agriculture tomorrow won’t
look like it does today.
Agriculture tomorrow won’t look like it does today.
Only in the past 60 years has the act of growing things been a tax on ecosystems. In pursuit of higher yield, our system has become unbalanced, unsustainable, and filled with unintended consequences.
The Formidable FourTM
The immensity of our global economy has led to agricultural juggernauts with huge externalities. At Avalo, we are focusing on four of these under-researched mega-crops in order to reduce their massive ecological footprints, and ensure their economic future.
