WASTEFUL PRACTICES MUST EVOLVE
As brands, growers & NGOs we can change insect management practice to become more mindful of our health and that of the planet. We can do better.
Agriculture & Insects
In recent years we’ve learned that how we feed ourselves will ultimately determine the fate of our planet and all its inhabitants. At Invaio, we’ve discovered how to work with the microbiome of both pests and pollinators to our benefit in the production of food. Using precise delivery technologies we now look to tackle some of the big concerns facing humanity.
WE CAN IMMEDIATELY
REDUCE THE USE OF
PESTICIDES BY 90%
OUR INITIAL DISCOVERY
Poor management practice has broken our relationship with insects. We’re learning how much we have in common through-out natural systems. Our impact in controlling that relationship with bugs has had vast unintended consequence on our health and that of the planet. How we deal with beneficials & pests in feeding ourselves is ground zero for a pesticide revolution.
A PESTICIDE REVOLUTION
To address pest pressures impacting tree health we precisely deliver nature-based actives through physical and biological methods. Through our approach we positively impact the production of real foods, like fruits and nuts and reduce pesticide externalities by 90%. We see it as an opportunity to connect responsibly produced real foods with a more conscious modern consumer. We see food as a way to reinvent our relationship with insects.

A MINDFUL APPROACH
Intensifying PRESSURES are forcing an end to the kill-everything model of food production.
It’s time we all move forward with a smarter approach. A more MINDFUL approach.
We’re PIONEERING technologies which will introduce refinement to the practices used in managing INSECTS while feeding ourselves.
