Biofeed develops technology designed to address fruit fly infestation. Biofeed enables eco-friendly, zero-spray methods through the slow release of lures to manipulate insect behavior.
The company has patented its Gravity Control Fluid Release (GCFR) technology, a liquid mixture of lures and additives that includes food substances, feeding stimulants, and control or therapeutic agents. The GCFR delivery system uses gravity as its energy source, generating highly effective and precise pest control over many months, including dry and rainy seasons.
Biofeed's system provides continuous protection to sensitive crops for four to eight months, with no need for service. The technology is used for fruit fly control and can be developed to control other flying pests, including mosquitoes.
The Biofeed solution incorporates advanced farmer-level AI, track and trace, yield enhancement based on real farming expertise, the Freedome proprietary technology, and novel dedicated protocols.
Biofeed's ideal customers are farmers and farming associations who have recognized the problems of under-performing outputs caused by unsolved critical crop protection issues.
Biofeed provides both a digital and physical solution, and through its associated company, Dream Valley Israel, Biofeed assists farmers in reaching premium markets for a premium price.
Biofeed offers consultancy services, maps out the needed protocols, provides technologies and protocols as a service (digital and on field), and assists with accrediting quality certifications.

Biofeed Climate Tech relevance
Pesticides can release greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions after their application, with fumigant pesticides shown to significantly increase nitrous oxide production in soils. Many pesticides lead to the production of ground-level ozone, a greenhouse gas harmful to both humans and plants. Biofeed works to eliminate the need for pesticides through the use of its patented Slow Fluid Release (SFR) technology, which enables the slow release of lures, the manipulation of insect behavior, and thus the ability to have them controlled either by attract-and-kill or attract-and-feed methods.
Food waste also causes approximately 8-10% of GHG emissions, and Biofeed combats this through reducing infestation by 99% and thus ensuring higher yields and significantly reducing food waste.
