B2B Strategy Supports Core Environmental and Sustainability Pillars

Please change to similar slide background as the rest of the deck Our B2B business model produces more robust and resilient industrial crops and improves distributor and farmer economics, while importantly, supporting ESG initiatives - responsibly reducing environmental impact with a lower carbon-footprint and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Environmental Pillar of ESG Climate Change Natural Resources Pollution & Waste Environmental Opportunity
Reporting Leaders at the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented on 3/20/23 an Acceleration Agenda for developed countries to achieve zero emissions approaching 2030.

* The 8 elements are: Carbon emissions, water stress, toxi emissions & waste, product carbon footprint, biodiversity & land use, packaging material and waste, raw material sourcing, climate change vulnerability

Climate Change May Cause Corn Yields to Fall;
A NASA study forecasts climate change to affect corn and wheat production as early as 2030.
With higher temperatures and surface CO2 concentrations as well as rainfall pattern changes, corn yields could fall by 24% from current levels
Farmland Owners May Move to Farming Carbon Credits

NFT (Proprietary Bio-Fertilizer)
The Problem: The Use of Urea is Not Sustainable
- Urea (Nitrogen), is the most common fertilizer in agriculture worldwide
- 1MT of urea production in the U.S. = 1.84 MT of gas emissions (CO2 )
- Global production of urea = CO2 emissions of 120 million cars annually!



United Nations Climate Change Global Climate Action Summit 2021 . Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Size | Global Industry Report, 2026. **World Fertilizer Market Nitrogen, No. 42 (418) 21 October 2021
The Solution: NFT

Naturally provides nitrogen to crops in synergy with available bacteria; reduction of 50% in use of urea

Farmer cost savings expected per:
- Reduced volume and dose per Ha. (1:25)
- Reduced application frequency

Environmentally-friendly to air, soil and the aquifer

Carbon credit:
- NFT use in corn reduce carbon emission
- Low-carbon-footprint-product with ESG benefits
- 1 Tone CO2 = 1 Carbon credit

In field trials, NFT demonstrated it was as efficient as and competitive with urea, suggesting it may be an ideal potential replacement

Distributor higher profit. Lower volume equals to less storage footprint & land transportation costs and margins higher than the standard 2-3%

NFT Field Trial Results

Brazilian Study Results in corn seeds treated with NFT (UEL, January 2023)
- Potential reduction of more than 50% of nitrogen in corn cultivation.
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Outperforms standard nitrogen fertilizers in almost all parameters

NFT Comparison to Urea in Maize (Corn)

NFT amount applied per Ha.* – 20 L
Urea amount applied per Ha. – 500 kg

✓ Easy application method in the field. Watch video here.
✓ Farmer keeps similar agrotechnical tools and methodologies
* Reduction of 50% in use of urea

Bio-Fertilizer Approaches: Market Landscape


WDS (Proprietary Stress Tolerance Enhancer)
• .
The Problem: Climate Change is Affecting Global Crop Production
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduces the concentrations of protein and essential minerals in most plant species (including wheat, soybeans, and rice) which would otherwise serve as nourishment. This direct effect of rising CO2 on the nutritional value of crops represents a potential threat to human health.

Changes in temperature, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather could have significant impacts on crop yields

If the higher temperature exceeds a crop's optimum temperature, yields will decline.

Changes in the frequency and severity of droughts and floods pose challenges for farmers and threaten food safety as well as disrupt ecosystems making it more difficult to grow crops.
The Solution: WDS
- WDS is a stress tolerance enhancer; a combination of naturally sourced ingredients with market-available bacteria
- Protects against abiotic climate stressors, addressing the supply problem for the farmer and the pricing threat to the consumer
- Increases yield in 20-30% and improves plant nutrient uptake and therefore fruit and vegetable quality
- Widely applicable in variety of crops as legumes, industrial tomatoes, vegetables, mangoes and avocado.
The Need for Environmental Stress Protection Solutions Has Increased With Episodes of Global Drought

Solution: Provide farmers with a higher yields

The field trial (Israel, (2022) showed that the formula both boosted the growth of the tomato root system in different plots and improved the yield in amid various climate stress conditions.

Example: Tomato Supply Crisis
The global tomato processing market size reached 45.2M tons in 2022, and, from 2023-2028 is expected to reach 56.5M, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.75%1
In the U.S., California is home to 90 percent of domestic tomatoes
California, Italy, Spain and Portugal (4 markets only), represents 52% of the global market share
In the consumer sector, there is an expected mass shortage of tomatobased consumer products, including ketchup and spaghetti sauce as a result of the water shortage from recent and ongoing droughts.
The shortage presents a threat of price increases for the tomato processing sector, with supply expected to decline by 6% by 2050 in key regions2
WDS Trials in Avocados: 2020 – 2022


" The WDS application saves me two years of growing and the additional cost of replanting; manpower and new plants." - quote from farmer
Target Market & Strategic Collaborators
Global Footprints
The company intends to start conducting field experiments and observations for marketing and sales around the world.


Brazil: Our First Strategic Market is An Agricultural Market Leader


- With 42 million Ha. of soybean and 22 million Ha. of maize (corn), Brazil is one of the largest agricultural markets in the world.
- Brazil is the largest agricultural chemical market in the world, with a turnover of 13 billion USD.
- Brazil is a major importer of fertilizers: 95% of the urea used in corn and 75% of the phosphorus used in corn and soybeans is imported.
- 23% of Brazil's annual imported fertilizers are from Russia.
- Russia is planning to impose an export tax of 23.5% on all fertilizers.
- The market of biological products grew 40% this last year in Brazil.
- Grace Breeding announced a strategic R&D collaboration with the University of Londrina (UEL), based in Paraná State, Brazil (11/2022).
Geopolitical changes - Brazil is Forecasted to Surpass the U.S. in Corn Exportation
First shipment of Brazilian corn to China occurred in November 2022, after Phytosanitary agreement signed between the countries

In the 2021-2022 marketing year, the primary destinations of Brazilian corn were Iran, Spain, Japan, Egypt & Colombia
