Kelp Blue
Website: https://kelp.blue/
Kelp Blue cultivates giant kelp on large-scale, offshore structures in Namibia, New-Zealand, and Alaska. Giant kelp grows fast and forms dense forests with canopies that support a wealth of marine life, offering food, shelter, and nursery grounds, which contributes to the restoration of natural ocean wilderness and the mitigation of excess CO2 in the atmosphere. Kelp Blue achieves this by establishing large-scale giant kelp forests in deep waters, effectively reducing the risk of re-releasing CO2 emissions. Only the kelp canopy is harvested to produce sustainable products in agri-foods, biostimulants (reducing usage of synthetic fertilizer and increasing tolerability of climactic stresses and yield), pharmaceuticals, textiles that foster a low carbon economy.
The company is on track to sequester 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030, making a significant contribution to the fight against climate change.

Eurofins
Website: https://www.eurofins-agro.com/
Eurofins Agro consists of multiple agricultural laboratories in Europe and partners worldwide. Eurofins Agro focusses on soil, crop, water, compost and manure analyses. With the results of the innovative analyses plus tailored guidelines, landowners can close yield gaps, optimise crop quality and use nutrients and water in a prudent way. Eurofins Agro is established in 1927. Headquarter is located in Wageningen, the Netherlands.
Eurofins Agro embraces the system approach, acknowledging the inter-relationships and inter-dependency of the components of the agri-food system. By analysing the total system and its components, we get a better understanding of the functioning of the agri-food system, and of the factors that may influence and modify these systems. We believe that providing tools (based on analysis) for the system approach contributes to improving crop productivity and quality, and to nutritional security and environmental sustainability. By doing so, we support farmers and growers by optimising their farm management, while food and feed companies are enabled to claim and prove sustainable food and feed production. In addition, governments and research can use the tools for monitoring and guiding purposes (e.g. the Sustainable Development Goals).
The Eurofins Agro international competence center is the global research and innovation organisation of Eurofins Agro. It is the scientific backbone of the 600.000 annual analyses of soil, plant, food, feed, fertiliser, water, manures and wastes. Advances in analytical techniques and instruments for the analyses in agro & food have been fast in recent decades. The context and criteria of the analyses have also changed rapidly. Food quality and safety are much higher on the societal and political agenda’s than 20 years ago. Food security has changed into nutritional security. Environmental sustainability has become a key issue in food and feed production, and farmers in an increasing number of countries have to comply with series of quality targets from both governments and food industries. As a result, the demand for rapid and accurate analyses of soil, plant, food, feed, fertiliser, water, manure and waste has increased tremendously. This requires constant innovation, that the Eurofins Agro competence center provides with setting standards in the international agro testing community.
