Fertilizer underpins global food production and is often a farmer's largest operating cost, yet its composition has seen only minor innovation in past decades.

Prospect is changing that.

We nanoengineer precision fertilizers that give growers an economic incentive to end runoff and nutrient loss, empowering farmers to lessen climate impacts without lessening their bottom line.

Why Nanofertilizers™

While synthetic fertilizer supports life for half the world’s population, existing forms are inefficient at delivering nutrition to crops—the majority (50-90%) of applied fertilizer is never uptaken by plants. This inefficiency drives serious environmental issues, like runoff and eutrophication, with impacts of crop production generating >8 Gt CO2eq yr. With global food demand rising and a third of all crop-producing acres facing falling or stagnating yields due to soil fertility and climate challenges, optimal crop fertilization remains essential.  Addressing these economic and social challenges requires cost-effective, environmentally sound fertilizer innovations. Marginal improvements to conventional fertilizers’ makeup and application will not address this need fast enough. 

the Future of Agriculture

Growing green. Our electrified aqueous formula uses EPA-SCIL certified food-safe and plant derived reagents. It’s safer for the planet, and for farmers.

Our nanofertilizers are designed to be safe for farmers and consumers, and are compatible with precision agriculture technology.

Prospect is up to 90% cheaper than existing commercially available nanoparticles. We can produce nanoparticles at 40x the concentration of current industrial methods.

US Farmers spent $30B on fertilizers in 2023 - higher nutrient transfer efficiency means less dependency on fertilizer raw material prices

It’s just the beginning. Validated 100x scale-up without a drop in quality. We’re making large-scale nanofertilizer production economically viable.

$5B = 2023 US fertilizer trade deficit. Nanofertilizers contribute to an integrated management of critical materials
