Mark Kriegshauser's Company Details
Locus AG is a Certified B Corp with award-winning soil "probiotic" technology that's making an immediate and substantial impact on the climate change crisis, food security and the need for sustainable agriculture practices to feed a growing population.The organic solutions are customized and delivered refrigerated for maximum freshness. Each cost-effective treatment is easily applied without changing standard practices and specifically addresses top challenges, including soil health, plant productivity and climate change—while maximizing grower profit. Third-party verified data and hundreds of field trials confirm the soil technology enables farmers to grow up to 43% more food on less land, use 10+% less fertilizer, reduce N20 emissions by up to 75% and sequester up to 5 additional metric tons of carbon per acre—more than the yearly emissions of a passenger vehicle. Through the CarbonNOW® project, Locus AG partners with like-minded companies who are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and leverage the probiotic technology to produce low-carbon food and low-carbon fuel. The program gives growers access to new revenue streams through carbon markets and can increase their profits by 2-3X. No other product on the market can make an immediate impact on both climate change and crop productivity challenges, and the results led to recognitions including 2020 World Changing Idea by Fast Company, U.S. winner of the Energy Globe Award, NREL's Outstanding Venture, 2019 Best Biological Product of the Year, and more.Locus AG is an operating company of Locus Fermentation Solutions (Locus FS), an Ohio-based green tech startup.
