About
Cooling Crops is an academic spinoff developing a sprayable powder that mitigates land degradation and heat stress in agriculture. When applied to soil, the formulation supports microbiome restoration, enhances nutrient uptake, and improves structural stability and water retention. When applied to plant surfaces, it reduces thermal stress and promotes growth. Developed through interdisciplinary research at the Hebrew University, the technology has demonstrated measurable gains in soil nitrogen fixation, moisture balance, and temperature regulation. Cooling Crops offers a scalable solution to improve crop yields and soil resilience under increasing climate stress
