Clean Crop’s technology uses electricity and cold plasma to decontaminate food by treating seeds and finished products, which can increase yields, extend shelf-life, improve food safety, and reduce post-harvest loss.
500M metric tonnes of food is wasted every year, largely due to pathogens, toxins, pests and climatic stress. Aflatoxins alone affect 40% of global harvests, causing over 100,000 deaths and $1.7 billion in lost revenue annually. Clean Crop is working to address this problem by combining food-grade gasses and electricity to create preservative-free and efficacy treatments for nuts and seeds, without compromising quality. This treatment reduces contaminants, bacteria, yeasts, and molds that drive food waste, unlocking additional shelf life.
