Agrinos: Empowering Growers, Working to End World Hunger

In September of 2015, nearly 200 countries came together at the United Nations and adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030.

Agrinos was one of sixteen companies chosen to work on this project called "Unreasonable Goals”  - a partnership between governments, multinationals, and entrepreneurs focused on achieving the noteworthy goals by leveraging market forces. 

According to Rose Reifsnyder, global marketing manager for Agrinos, “Unreasonable Goals was designed to accelerate efforts of selected companies with an established track record of achievement in sustainability to help them scale quickly and tackle the Sustainable Development Goals. We’re honored to have been selected to participate as the entrepreneurial company to help achieve the second sustainable development goal: end hunger – achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture."

Founded in 2009, Agrinos employs nearly 150 agronomists, scientists, field personnel and others in 13 countries around the globe.  Agrinos is looking to achieve its mission by empowering growers to improve their soils, water quality, nutrient efficiency and overall land stewardship. By discovering, developing and producing new technologies that harness the power of naturally derived bio-compounds and microorganisms, Agrinos provides biological crop inputs that simultaneously deliver tangible environmental benefits and substantive financial returns for organic growers.

Agrinos’ belief that a farm to fork value chain benefits growers, retailers and consumers is a key component to fulfilling their mission. As a result the company has grown extensively.  Their organic inputs are a suite of biological products that utilize Agrinos’ proprietary High Yield Technology. The benefits of these products strengthen the soil microbiome or deliver critical, highly bioavailable nutrients to help plants prosper.
