Better Leaf
Better Leaf Overview
Better Leaf aims to combine Israeli research and development with on-the-ground knowledge to create novel biopesticides from Ghanaian medicinal plants.
Biopesticides have many advantages over 'traditional' pesticides - they are less energy-intensive to produce, less harmful to the environment when used, and with beneficial unit costs to the farmer.
Biopesticides can also increase yields and lead to greater food security.
Better Leaf Climate Tech relevance
Pesticides can release greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions after their application, with fumigant pesticides shown to significantly increase nitrous oxide production, a GHG 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2). Better Leaf's biopesticides both mitigate the harmful effects of chemical pesticides and ensure that less CO2 is produced through the growth of the plant-based 'raw material' used for its product. The whole process, from the growth of the plants to their conversion into biopesticides and use in the soil, is thus both renewable and climate-friendly, due to its lower carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions.
