Growing Green, Growing Win
Excessive use of traditional fertilisers and pesticides leads to soil degradation and disruption of microbial communities, posing potential environmental and health hazards. Zhangyun Bioscience, with its independently developed specialised PGPR library and HSE culture medium for Chinese crops, introduces targeted microbial fertilisers to protect the environment, reduce health risks, improve infertile soil quality, increase crop yields, enhance disease resistance, and promote sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices. Aligned with ESG principles, the project aims to replace 20% of chemical fertilisers in the Bay Area within five years to significantly improve soil health. It is also expected to create 20,000 rural employment opportunities and significantly increase the income of agricultural practitioners. With an expected investment return rate exceeding 30.4%, we strive to truly achieve “Growing Green, Growing Win!”
