Who We Are
ActiveCross develops nature-derived biochemical pesticides to enable the production of safe and abundant food without reliance on synthetic pesticides.
Today’s consumers demand “safe” and “pesticide free” food. While, in fact 94% of pesticides that are used to treat and protect our food are synthetic pesticides, nearly 75% of fresh produce sold in the U.S. that is not labeled organic contains residues of potentially harmful pesticides.
All of ActiveCross’ products come from naturally occurring organisms. The potency of such active ingredients has been enhanced using synthetic biology and are protected by patents and Trade Secrets. These products all have the high level of efficacy that synthetic pesticides have also demonstrated, but they have the advantage of being natural and biologically-based. All the products have been de-risked and scaled.
Our Mission
To disrupt the crop protection market by replacing synthetic pesticides with highly efficacious and nature-derived crop protectants.
