Tropical Agriculture Systems
Tropical productions systems face enormous stress from global climate change that affects under-domesticated crops, such as cacao, putting global production and supply systems at risk.
Regulations and challenging production environments need creative input and management solutions that will help a range of producers and investors create value.
An industry born out of small scale growers needs rigorous science to improve production systems and validate quality parameters required to fuel consumer interest.
Row crop agriculture is the most abundant source of proteins and carbohydrates that are staples in diets of humans globally. Streamlining and creation of high throughput management creates opportunities and added value.
Citrus is facing extreme insect pressure, bacterial, and viral disease pressure creating challenges for growers and production systems globally.
High value and increased insect and disease pressure create challenges that can be overcome with improved nutrition, IPM, and other solutions that add value to operations. risk.
The tropics and subtropics produce a wide range of crops that are not always well adapted to their growing environments. The intense heat and continuous production cycles create the perfect environment for insect, pests, and diseases wreak havoc on crops of all types. The tropics and subtropics are also the most vulnerable to a changing climate that will make agricultural production more challenging as global climate issues persist. As tropical and subtropical experts, we have the skill set necessary to address environmental problems, eliminate risk, and achieve project goals. We work in all productions systems across the globe including temperate, Mediterranean and greenhouse environment to tackle the challenges that manifest in each unique environment to produce strategies and deliverables that will accelerate company and project growth..
