Insights
The patent application by NTwo Off, targeting the reduction of nitrous oxide emissions in wheat farming, is a significant development in the agricultural sector. The focus on environmentally sustainable practices is not only a response to global climate change challenges but also reflects the growing consumer demand for sustainable food production. The identification of bacteria species capable of reducing N2O emissions could be a game-changer for the industry. This innovation may lead to increased yields and cost savings for farmers due to potentially reduced need for nitrogen-based fertilizers, which are a primary source of N2O emissions. Furthermore, the technology aligns with regulatory trends pushing agriculture towards lower emissions, potentially offering NTwo Off a competitive advantage in markets where such regulations are in effect or pending.
The environmental implications of the technology proposed by NTwo Off are profound. Nitrous oxide is a significant contributor to global warming, with a global warming potential 265 times greater than carbon dioxide. By focusing on this 'forgotten greenhouse gas', NTwo Off is addressing a critical area of environmental impact. The successful implementation of their technology could lead to a substantial reduction in the carbon footprint of wheat production, a staple crop with extensive global cultivation. This could have ripple effects on the agricultural industry's overall sustainability profile and may influence environmental policy and consumer preferences in the long term.
The introduction of NTwo Off's technology into the market could disrupt traditional wheat farming practices and create new opportunities for investment in Agri-Food Tech. As the technology moves from greenhouse testing to micro field plots, it will be crucial to monitor its scalability and cost-effectiveness. The potential market for such a technology is vast, given that wheat is one of the world's most widely grown crops. If NTwo Off can prove that their solution is both effective and economically viable, it could attract significant interest from agricultural corporations, sustainability-focused investors and possibly lead to partnerships or licensing deals. The market will be closely watching the results of field testing and subsequent commercialization efforts.
Neve Yarak, Israel, Feb. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Save Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVFD) (FSE:80W), a pioneer Agri-Food Tech company offering sustainable solutions for agriculture and plant based food, announced the filing of a US patent application by its majority-owned subsidiary, NTwo Off Ltd. (“NTwo Off”, formerly Nitrousink Ltd.) on January 11, 2024, aimed at revolutionizing wheat production. The patent application represents NTwo Off’s goal to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of agriculture, specifically targeting the reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in wheat farming.
The patented technology refers to methodologies of effectively mitigating nitrous oxide emissions during wheat cultivation. By implementing this innovative approach, NTwo Off hopes to reduce farmers' environmental footprint while enhancing their sustainability of operations.
NTwo Off has identified and isolated two naturally occurring bacteria species that can reduce N2O emissions under various environmental conditions from wheat roots. NTwo Off’s R&D team is currently testing its technology under greenhouse conditions with the aim of finding the optimal formula for reducing N2O emission in wheat crops. NTwo Off intends to continue its testing in micro field plots using different soils, dosages, and formulations for a variety of crops. According to Our World in Data, N2O, known as the “forgotten greenhouse gas", is 265 times more powerful at warming the planet than carbon dioxide.
