Honored and excited to share that?AgroSpheres has been recognized by TIME in two categories: as one of the World’s?and?one of?America’s Top GreenTech Companies for 2025! This recognition reflects the incredible work our team has done to build an?end-to-end platform for sustainable crop protection.?From our novel active ingredients to our advanced encapsulation and delivery systems, we’ve developed solutions that are?greener, more targeted, and commercially scalable. It’s energizing to see our?business fundamentals?and?IP strength?acknowledged on a global stage—especially at a time when sustainable agriculture is more urgent than ever. Proud of our progress. Excited for what’s ahead. Stay tuned. Sepehr Joseph Payam Prem https://lnkd.in/ezrX6D8K #Sustainability #AgTech #Biotech #Leadership #Growth

I am proud to share a major milestone for AgroSpheres: We’ve been named to?TIME’s World’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025?and?TIME’s?America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025?lists! Companies were ranked on?positive environmental impact, financial strength, and innovation drive. This recognition is more than a badge of honor—it’s validation that?science-driven innovation and business discipline?can go hand in hand to create real global impact. We’ve built AgroSpheres with a clear purpose: to make sustainable crop protection scalable, effective, and accessible for growers worldwide. Being recognized among global leaders in GreenTech reinforces our belief that?the future of farming will be bio-based, high-performing, and environmentally safe. Grateful to our team, partners, and investors for helping make this vision a reality. We’re just getting started. Here's to a Future Built By Nature's Technologies! https://lnkd.in/eyx_ZF4B #Sustainability #AgTech #Biotech #Innovation #Growth Ameer Prem Sepehr Joseph

This is unbelievable research. The world is losing 4-14% of its staple crops due to microplastics. The research shows future impact could be as significant to world hunger as future global warming. I have a confession to make. I used to think concentrating on plastic pollution was often a misdirection of our precious time. Many environmental campaigns focusing on plastic rubbish I resented, thinking the carbon crisis was so much more pressing. This is obviously not true. The fact that this research about widespread loss of crops to microplastics is only revealed now shows how hidden its impacts are.

?? A huge shoutout to Jessica and Lisa from AgroSpheres for their dedication as 1:1 mentors in our spring cohort! Your guidance is shaping the next generation of STEAM innovators. And we’re so grateful for Agrospheres’ additional support as a corporate sponsor! Thank you for making a difference at C4K! #MentoringAmplifies #STEAM #ThankYou #volunteers #gratitude

Exciting times for Charlottesville, VA! I am so proud of Nikki Hastings and our CvilleBioHub team for launching the Commonwealth BioAccelerator at North Fork! This is a massive step forward for biotech in our community. This would not have been possible without the support of GO Virginia, UVA, Albemarle County, the City of Charlottesville, VEDP, VIPC, and the Manning Family Foundation. It has been a great honor building AgroSpheres in Charlottesville with Ameer Shakeel, Joseph T. Frank, and Sepehr Zomorodi and I cannot wait for what the future holds.

We are deeply grateful to AgroSpheres for sponsoring C4K's Project Pitch Night on February 28. Their dedication to developing environmentally friendly crop protection products exemplifies innovation and community commitment. Thanks to their support, the next generation of creative problem-solvers can share their bold ideas with the world! #AgroSpheres #ProjectPitchNight #CropProtection #SustainableAgriculture #InnovationInAg #CommunitySupport #EnvironmentalSolutions #FutureOfFarming #AgTech #CreativeProblemSolving

Crop Protection Company Patent Analysis: Formulation Technology ?????? This week, Upstream Ag Insights took a look at notable patents from Corteva Agriscience, Syngenta, AgroSpheres, and UPL—each signalling a push towards more advanced formulation technologies and biological integration. A brief overview of each: Corteva’s Polymer Patent?– Could Corteva begin competing with Nutrien and offer a unique polymer coating product? They hold a patent for a controlled-release polymer that could turn fertilizer into a crop protection delivery mechanism while providing slow release nutrition. Syngenta’s Micro-Encapsulation Patent?– A biodegradable encapsulation technology that aligns with regulatory trends and improves the stability, efficacy, and environmental impact of crop protection products. AgroSpheres Mini-Cell Technology Patent?– A look at technology for delivering protein based biochemicals, tackling stability, scalability, and targeted delivery challenges. Is this the technology necessary for biochemistry to get to parity with synthetic chemistry? UPL’s Folcysteine Patent?– A co-formulation of a biostimulant and crop protection molecules, enhancing nutrient uptake and stress tolerance while opening doors for novel product combinations. For a deeper look at commercial applications, check out the full article. #agriculture #agribusiness Upstream Ag Ventures
