Clean Crop Technologies, Inc.

Clean Crop Technologies, Inc. is honored to be included on TIME’s list of America’s Top #Greentech Companies of 2024! We are thrilled to be part of such a dynamic group of sustainability-focused peers that are building innovative business models to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, displace unsustainable materials, and reduce the demand for nonrenewable natural resources. Our goal is to unlock more food with fewer resources with our Clean Current technology. Clean Current combines electricity and food-grade gasses to create cold plasma to inactivate a broad spectrum of contaminants from seed surfaces in a dry, automated, and residue-free process. Our bold vision is to serve as the new standard first line of defense for seed health globally and to mitigate at least 1 gigaton of GHG emissions from the ag and food space by 2050. https://lnkd.in/gfp3a6G2

Clean Crop is pleased to announce our collaboration with Diageo through their Sustainable Solutions innovation accelerator to pilot Clean Current technology within their network of over 60,000 smallholder farmers in East Africa, in partnership with their subsidiary, East African Breweries PLC (EABL)! Farmers across Kenya are increasingly challenged by unpredictable weather patterns, including droughts and floods. Our Clean Current technology treats seed surfaces, accelerating germination and enhancing crop resilience in abiotic growing conditions. By improving seed performance, we aim to provide value to farmers operating in regions disproportionately impacted by climate change. This collaboration allows us to pilot Clean Current technology with Diageo’s smallholder farmers network in Kenya, supporting their commitment to advance sustainable technologies across their supply chain, while securing a reliable crop supply that protects our natural resources.

Meet Caleb Smith, our 2024 Mechanical Engineer Summer Intern, who recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering! Caleb began working on innovative #agtech projects in his senior year, starting with his capstone group project to develop a corn monitoring robot. This device gathers data on corn tassel flowering behavior to be used by the Bartlett Agricultural Lab. He also completed his undergraduate honor's thesis on the effects of propeller downwash on agrichemical sprays dispensed from unmanned aerial drones. Fueled by his love for physics and math, Caleb is advancing into the Master’s program for mechanical engineering, and continuing his research in the food science lab. Joining the Clean Crop Technologies, Inc. team for the summer, he was excited to work on projects from design through prototype fabrication on Clean Current machines, gaining valuable hands-on experience and feedback. Outside of engineering, Caleb is an avid cyclist, reader, and cook, always ready to explore new trails, tales, and tastes! #InternSpotlight
