Each treatment has a 3-5 year’s duration.

According to FAO, 33% of our global soils are already degraded, with unsustainable farming practices being an important source of soil pollution. With a growing population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, the excessive use of chemicals, including pesticides, is a threat that affects food security by reducing crop yields and quality.

There are estimated to be used 3,5 million tons of pesticides in the year 2020. This equals 175 million truck loads. While pesticides might be useful for crop volume, it has significant drawbacks and consequences for the environment in the form of health hazards, pollution and affecting the ecosystem. For that reason, organizations such as the OECD, FAO and the EU are working to develop strategies and policies to reduce their use, and to enable sustainable agricultural production. More and more pesticides are being banned, and only for the last 7 years, the list of legal pesticides and herbicides have been decreased by more than 50%. However, farmers have no viable alternatives today which maintain the yield they get with pesticide usage when treating their fields.
