The Company's natural precision agriculture system uses a fraction of the product required with traditional spray applications. Water consumption and use of fossil fuels is also significantly reduced for growers using the system. With an agriculture industry under pressure to increase yields and move away from potentially harmful chemicals, BVT's system is coming to market at just the right time. "Right now, we have 7.7 billion people on the planet, and by 2050 that number is projected to increase to nearly 10 billion. When you do the math, we basically have to find a way to double productivity on every farm acre of land over the next 30 years,"(1)says Mr. Malik. "And that's not us saying it, that's the United Nations and world leaders saying it. The use of biologicals is exploding. More and more people want farmers to stop using chemicals, and BVT is very much a part of this new green revolution. We have an exciting technology with tremendous promise for the future, something the Agrow Awards recognize and celebrate." Within the agriculture industry, an increasing number of forward-thinking farmers are adopting BVT as the Company progresses in the commercial phase of operations post US EPA approval. The Company recently announced its first commercial grower deals in the strawberry and blueberry markets within the United States.
