EcoPhage is focused on discovering and developing environmentally friendly products for disease control in agriculture. The company's technology uses bacteriophages (viruses that attack bacteria) for crop protection. The technology was developed by Professor Rotem Sorek of Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science. Based on the discoveries made by Professor Sorek and now held by EcoPhage for crop protection under exclusive license from Yeda, the company is poised to develop effective, eco-friendly treatments against crop diseases. The company was formed as a joint venture between the Bayer Trendlines Ag Innovation Fund and Trendlines Group.

EcoPhage Climate Tech relevance
Food waste alone causes 8-10% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide, and 20-30% of global yield loss is due to over 200 known bacterial diseases, many of which have no solution. EcoPhage uses bacteriophages (naturally occurring viruses that attack bacteria) to protect plants from these diseases, ensuring an increased yield and decreased food waste. EcoPhage's technology also means that there is a decreased need for pesticides, many of which significantly increase nitrous oxide production and the creation of ground-level ozone, which contributes to climate change.
