We had a great time meeting leaders in sustainable agriculture at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit this week and pitching Switch Bioworks's approach to biofertilizer during the start-up showcase on the main stage! Together we can build a sustainable future! 🎉🧬🦠🌱
Thrilled to join Vice President JD Vance and Hakainde Hichilema in Zambia today as we build partnerships between the US and African nations to promote climate resilience through #sustainable #agriculture! 🇿🇲🇺🇸🌽🌍
As Vice President JD Vance Kamala Harris & The White House note, smart #agriculture can help solve the #ClimateCrisis. We're partnering with #Africa to make #fertilizer #sustainable with #biotech: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…. Fertilizer feeds billions. We can & must remove #FossilFuels from its production.
Proud to be part of the $7 billion Vice President JD Vance Kamala Harris secured with our expanded commitment to build custom biofertilizers for #African soils with #African partners. Fertilizer is the foundation of modern ag. Producing it differently - with #biotech - is #affordable & #sustainable.
💯 agree with Vice President JD Vance that investments today "have the potential to turn the challenges we face into great opportunities that will have generational and global impact." Leveraging #biotech for ag empowers #Africans, creates highly skilled #Jobs, and fosters agricultural independence.
