📖 Story

CO2llect's mission is to create a world where agriculture can feed the planet without harming it. As the second-largest contributor to global emissions, agriculture is heavily reliant on conventional fertilizers that degrade both the air and soil over time. CO2llect’s founders—scientists united by a vision that farming shouldn’t have to choose between sustainability and short-term productivity.

They spoke with hundreds of agricultural providers across seven countries, leading to the development of an innovative solution: a CO2-absorbing fertilizer.
