Our Mission
A New Earth
​
The world needs to increase food production by more than half by 2050 if it is to feed a global population of almost 10 billion. Such an increase on our rapidly changing planet is a monumental challenge.
​
Productive land is limited and degrading at an alarming rate, while climate change and resource scarcity threaten to undermine crop quality and yields around the world. Agricultural emissions are themselves a major driver of atmospheric heating and pollution, creating a damaging positive feedback loop that threatens the foundation of our biophysical productivity.
Technological Limitations
​
Some level of climatic change is inevitable. Enhancing the survival and growth of staple crop plants in adverse conditions is therefore of paramount importance—and huge market value.
​
CDotBio is a collection of world-class scientists and business experts who are working with their patented application of carbon nanoparticles — ‘carbon dots’ or ‘C-Dots’ — to develop flexible methods of upgrading, protecting, or controlling crop plants
New Solutions
​
We’re working on a new paradigm of genetically powered agricultural products; cheap to manufacture, versatile, and easy to apply within existing agricultural systems.
​
With a new toolbox of C-Dot biotechnology products, resistance to disease, tolerance to environmental stress, and growth enhancement will become more accessible, affordable and applicable than ever before.
​
Our mission - in collaboration with industry partners and investors - is to generate further evidence of this pivotal technology and its industrial potential, develop prototypes, and bring them to market.
