MustGrow Highlights Positive Soil Health and Environmental Approach; Earth Day Investor Presentations

By: Newsfile

[DATELINE]MustGrow Biologics Corp. (CSE: MGRO) (OTCQX: MGROF) (FSE: 0C0) (the "Company", "MustGrow") is pleased to outline its environmentally-sustainable approach to crop protection on Earth Day.

MustGrow's safe and effective natural, organic biofumigant, biopesticide and bioherbicide are plant-based - harnessing the mustard seed's natural defense mechanism to control diseases, insect pests and weeds. This natural biological approach to crop protection underscores the "E" in ESG - Environmental, Social, and Governance. The dangers associated with synthetic chemical overuse is pushing farmers, consumers and regulators to seek naturally-sourced biological products, which are known for safe, environmentally-sustainable and consumer-friendly profile characteristics.

Positive Soil Health and Environmental Impact

The active ingredient in MustGrow's preplant mustard-derived approach (AITC) has a positive soil health and environmental impact:

  • PLANT-BASED: organic plant material is returned to the soil.
  • Dissipates in the soil quickly.
  • Avoids long-term toxicity to beneficial micro-organisms.
  • Very low water solubility, potentially limiting watershed runoff.
  • Promotes a healthy microbiome for the soil.

Biologicals: Agricultural Technology Revolution

  • Sustainable Agriculture: The development of safe and effective biologicals (to replace chemicals) will be critical for future food security and environmentally-sustainable agriculture.
  • Feed the World: By 2050 there will be more than 9 billion people on this planet - 2 billion more people to feed. The combination of population growth and changing diet will require roughly double our current number of crops (National Geographic, 2020).
  • Popularity of Organic Food: The mainstream rise of organic food consumption, plant-based protein, pesticide-free produce and non-GMO products are not merely trends - these are transformational shifts in how food is grown and consumed.
  • Investors Demand Sustainability: In 2020, net capital flows into U.S. ESG funds smashed previous records, totaling US$51.8 billion (almost ten times 2018's US$5.4 billion net capital flows).
  • Mergers & Acquisitions: Risk averse big agriculture chemicals companies are widely-expected to build portfolios of biological solutions through acquisitions once technologies are de-risked.
