Setting the Standard for Soil Health: Biome Makers Publishes 2022 Impact Report
Biome Makers' Impact Report 2022 Reveals Groundbreaking Results in Sustainable Agriculture
Biome Makers is proud to announce the publication of its 2022 Impact Report, highlighting the company's continued efforts in global soil restoration.
The Impact Report highlights the significance of measuring and monitoring sustainable practices through Biome Maker's BeCrop® technology. It details the impact of the company's initiatives, including over 500,000 hectares of land implementing biological soil analysis, a 20% reduction in agrochemical fertilizers, and a 15% increase in agricultural carbon sequestration. Over 14,000 farmers from more than 45 countries across 170 different crop types have benefited from improved socio-economic conditions due to Biome Makers' efforts.
"At Biome Makers, we believe that a healthier soil means a healthier world," said Adrian Ferrero, co-founder and CEO of Biome Makers. "By empowering farmers to monitor and improve the health of their soil with BeCrop®, we can increase crop yield, reduce farm costs and create a more sustainable and nature-positive food system."
The 2022 Impact Report also aligns the company's goals with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, raising awareness and inspiring others to join the effort to improve soil health, carbon sequestration, and environmental sustainability worldwide.
"We are thrilled to be able to share the impact of our efforts with the agricultural community," said Alberto Acedo, Ph.D., co-founder and CSO at Biome Makers. "We are committed to driving positive change and creating a better future for all by restoring soil health."

XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting
Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
