About
Cooling Crops is an Israeli startup that has developed patented sprayable solutions to address global food security challenges by overcoming land degradation and thermal stress. Their technology includes a spray that lowers plant temperature by 3-6 degrees Celsius, restores degraded soils by promoting biocrust formation, improves soil water retention by up to three times, and reduces wind erosion by over 80%. The company's products, CoolEmerge™ and CoolGrowth™, aim to boost crop emergence and enhance plants' thermal resilience, respectively. Cooling Crops' technology is based on multidisciplinary research in microbial photosynthesis, nanotechnology, and nano-biotechnology, and it is an academic spin-out from the Hebrew University.
