Under Michael’s leadership, Lucent BioSciences is redefining the future of agriculture and since its inception, has been at the forefront of climate-smart agriculture, innovating novel fertilizers that are as effective as they are eco-friendly. The company’s flagship offerings—Soileos, Nutreos, and Agreos—embody a circular economy approach, upcycling agriculture plant waste into fertilizers, with each designed to enhance crop yields while minimizing environmental impact. Their innovative Soileos micronutrient fertilizers cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 3 tonnes of CO2e/acre compared to traditional fertilizers. And it’s not just Soileos making waves—Nutreos, Lucent’s revolutionary seed coating, and Agreos, a game-changing controlled-release fertilizer, are also in the mix. These innovations boost crop yields, improve soil health and cut emissions while staying microplastic-free.
