"The Radicle Corn Value Chain Challenge sponsored by US Corn Farmers" sets out to invest a minimum of US $1.5M in start-up and growth companies from around the globe whose innovative technologies and business models create new uses for corn and long-term sustainable demand for corn production. These companies are expected to be developing new uses of corn that result in replacements for fossil fuel-derived materials with plant-derived materials such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), drop-in chemicals and plastics, compostable materials, and as yet unidentified products and product categories that could be new areas for corn-derived products to be used.

Corteva Commemorates Five Years of Creating Value Five years ago, Corteva Agriscience, Inc. launched as a public company with one mission: to consistently deliver cutting-edge solutions to help farmers feed and fuel the world. Since then, the company has helped farmers increase their yields—grow more food—by ramping up innovative products, including: Enlist E3™1 soybeans, the #1 soybean trait system in the U.S.; Vorceed™ Enlist™ corn, which better protects against corn rootworm; proprietary winter canola hybrids to help meet the growing demand for biofuels while providing farmers with an additional revenue source; Reklemel™ active, a first-of-its-kind, selective nematicide that protects crops and maintains a healthy balance of beneficial organisms in the soil; Adavelt™ active, providing highly effective defense against more than 20 diseases in more than 30 crops; and Utrisha™ N, a biostimulant capturing supplemental nitrogen from the air. Today, Corteva employees and senior management will commemorate five years as a standalone company by ringing the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange.

🇧🇷🫛Conab released #Soybean production forecast for 2024/25 Despite facing pressure from lower domestic prices and profitability concerns, soybeans remain a profitable crop with high liquidity. Global demand is on the rise, driven by increased soybean crushing and the expansion of biofuel production in Brazil and beyond. This strong demand is expected to lead to a growth in planted area, potentially reaching 47,4 million hectares, the crop projection is set at 166,28 million tons, a significant 12,82% increase over the 2023/2024 season. #BrazilAgriculture #SoybeanMarket #AgriBusiness #CropForecast #BiofuelGrowth #GlobalDemand #AgriTrends #SustainableFarming #GreenEnergy #FarmersOfTheFuture #CropProduction #Agriculture2024

Ever heard of Azospirillum brasilense? Researchers at the University of Minnesota believe it’s a strong contender for growers to reduce the amounts of nitrogen fertiliser they apply. “We’ve seen positive responses with every single trial that we have done so far,” says the lead researcher, pointing to results in wheat, corn and black beans. “If we have a technology here that could reduce 25% of the nitrogen inputs, I think that would be very beneficial to growers.” The best results were obtained in conjunction with low to medium rates of nitrogen. Research continues, as the team seeks to determine the best way to use the bacteria before making recommendations about its use. #microbes #nitrogenfixing #fertiliser #sustainableagriculture https://lnkd.in/ePB_AJUB
