    Welcome back, listeners! In today's episode, we dive into the latest strides in AgTech, featuring an analysis of why CEA consolidation will keep accelerating with 32 failures since 2022, AeroFarms acquired by a family office with a commercial-first pivot, Goterra's collapse raising hard questions about insect farming at scale, over $90 million in fresh funding, Canada's landmark $3 billion food security strategy, and a plant molecular farming breakthrough delivering a full daily iron intake in just 25 grams of engineered pea leaves. Let's get started!

    Here’s a Quick Snapshot of What’s Making Headlines:
    1. Analysis: The Ecosystem Imperative: 32 CEA companies have filed for bankruptcy or ceased operations since 2022 — the market is ruthlessly restructuring, with integrated ecosystems surviving and standalone operators trapped
    2. M&A: AeroFarms acquired by Palm Ventures affiliate with Kraft Heinz veteran as new CEO; Farm Supply Company and Grange Co-op announce merger; Pymwymic absorbs Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund
    3. Collapse: Goterra enters voluntary administration — Australia's most-funded insect farm, previously valued at $55M, collapses citing a funding shortfall and deepening questions about insect farming's commercial viability at scale
    4. Funding: Innovafeed closes 51M euros backed by ADM and Temasek; Leaf Agriculture raises $13M Series B; SWARM Engineering closes oversubscribed $10M Series A; Village Farms raises $15M; Sensie raises 500K euros pre-seed
    5. Policy: Canada announces $3B National Food Security Strategy with $750M dedicated to year-round growing capacity — the most significant government commitment to CEA in Canadian history
    6. Innovation: Seven product and patent milestones: Solis Capital carbon finance, T3Bioscience international patent, Meteomatics AI weather, Nambawan Thauma sweetener, Ostara fertilizer, NC State drone software, Gardin ALPHA Index
    7. Research: HiFe Plants shows 25 grams of engineered pea leaves can deliver 100% of a woman's recommended daily iron intake — advancing plant molecular farming for anaemia-affected populations
    8. Events: Commercial UAV Expo (Las Vegas, September 1st to 3rd), Taiwan Smart Agriweek (September 8th to 10th), Women in Agribusiness Global Summit (New Orleans, September 22nd to 24th), Global Agrovet Research Conference (Dubai, October 7th to 8th)

  • Glyphosate Alternatives: Safer Weed Control for Farmers - with Frank Glatz - Managing Director, Contact BioSolutions

    Glyphosate Alternatives: Safer Weed Control for Farmers - with Frank Glatz - Managing Director, Contact BioSolutions
    2026/06/09
    📺 Watch on YouTube and SpotifyEpisode DescriptionIn this episode of AgTech Digest, Sepehr Achard sits down with Frank Glatz, an environmental entrepreneur driven by the vision of revolutionizing weed management in agriculture. Discover the intriguing story behind Contact Bio Solutions, a startup that evolved from health science innovations to pioneering one of the market’s most potent bioherbicides. Learn how a unique delivery technology, originally formulated for supplements, is now changing the way weeds are controlled—offering high efficacy with natural ingredients and minimal environmental impact.Frank Glatz unpacks the challenges of regulatory landscapes across the globe, the role of advanced application techniques like magnetic spraying, and how these developments are making bioherbicides increasingly competitive with conventional chemical options. From global market entry strategies to eye-opening case studies in vineyards and orchards, this episode explores the intersection of sustainability, science, and entrepreneurship in agtech innovation.Tune in for a thought-provoking look at what it takes to bring a transformative solution to market, and get a glimpse of the future of agriculture through the lens of a passionate founder on a mission to make a difference—one weed at a time.5 Key TakeawaysUnlock the future of sustainable weed control—here’s what you need to do next:Evaluate bioherbicides like Firehawk Bioherbicide Super Concentrate as alternatives to chemical herbicides for more environmentally friendly agriculture.Explore advanced application technologies such as magnetic spraying to increase efficacy and lower cost per acre.Consider transitioning to nature-identical active ingredients with rapid biodegradability to eliminate withholding periods and reduce crop residue risks.Collaborate with companies developing innovative ag tech solutions and participate in case studies to measure ROI and long-term soil health benefits.Demand greater transparency and safer food production practices by connecting with ag tech leaders and advocating for policy changes in chemical herbicide use.Memorable Quotes"We are environmentalists that really want to bring to agriculture a better solution, so if you look at herbicides—the way they kill or desiccate the weeds—you’re not just doing that. You really impact the environment, waterways, residues in food, and potentially your own health.""Our belief is if you start from a nature-identical active ingredient, in our case a fatty acid we’ve eaten for thousands of years, the environment and our bodies are very familiar with these ingredients because they have been part of our ecosystem forever.""My vision for 2035 is a billion-dollar business offering a bioherbicide—in a $40 billion market, that’s just 2%—but we have that wonderful combination of a high-performing product that truly benefits consumers, users, and the environment in a very real way."Connect with FrankLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-glatz-961b5222/Contact Bio Solutions - https://contactbiosolutions.com/Resources MentionedNestlé - https://www.nestle.com/Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (referenced in context of organic waste diversion) - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/beijing-2008World Health Organization (WHO) - https://www.who.int/Harvard University (grounds using bioherbicides) - https://www.harvard.edu/Gabe Brown (Regenerative Farming Leader) - https://brownsranch.us/Regenerative Agriculture (Regeneration Movement, referenced in context of events/partners) - https://regenerationinternational.org/EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) - https://www.epa.gov/California DPR (Department of Pesticide Regulation) - https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/Glyphosate (commonly known herbicide, referenced for comparison) - https://www.bayer.com/en/agriculture/glyphosateParaquat (referenced as a herbicide) - https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/paraquat-dichlorideConnect with Us!Be sure go subscribe to our other shows:Vertical Farming Podcast: https://verticalfarmingpodcast.com/Greenhouse Success Stories: https://greenhousesuccess.com/Presented by iGrowNews.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/igrownews🎙️🎙️🎙️Discover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/
