The shift towards sustainability is reshaping agriculture and landscaping industries, where products like fertilizers, pesticides, and seed coatings play a significant role. To reduce environmental impact and meet global regulatory standards, Ferti Technologies—a leading specialty fertilizer manufacturer in Quebec—is pioneering eco-friendly product innovation. Their current projects include:

  • Biodegradable Polymer Coatings for fertilizers
  • Materials for Carbon Sequestration
  • Biological Control Agents

Dr. Nancy Xiao, Director of Research and Innovation at Ferti Technologies Inc, will share how these innovative solutions align with the three pillars of sustainability and the emerging well-being economy. With a Ph.D. in Plant Agriculture and a Master’s in Turfgrass Management, Dr. Xiao leads research at Ferti Technologies to enhance user experience and promote eco-friendly solutions for the landscape, golf, and agriculture sectors.
