No-Burn Solutions
There’s a Better Way Than Burning.
Activate gives farmers a practical alternative to crop burning, turning post-harvest residue into soil nutrients.
After harvest, burning is often the fastest and cheapest way for farmers to clear their fields before the next season. But that convenience comes at a cost to the soil, the air, and the communities that live alongside the fields.
Global research estimates that an average of 81 million hectares (approximately 200 million acres) of cropland are burned globally each year, with South Asia and Southeast Asia accounting for a massive share of these agricultural fires.
Why No-Burn Matters
The Cost of Burning
Damaged soil biology
Fire destroys the microbial life that keeps soil healthy and productive, leaving fields weaker season after season.
Air pollution and carbon emissions
Burning releases carbon and creates dangerous PM 2.5 air pollution, a growing problem across Thailand and Southeast Asia.
Lost nutrients
Crop residue that could be returned to the soil to feed the next crop goes up in smoke instead.
Weaker, more vulnerable soils
Burning crop residue season after season weakens soils, leaving fields more vulnerable to floods and drought.
Our Solution
A Practical Alternative: Activate
Activate uses beneficial microbes to rapidly break down crop stubble and straw after harvest. Instead of burning, farmers spray Activate onto the soil and crop residue, turning what would have been smoke into nutrients for the next crop.
Up to 80%
of crop residue broken down in 3 weeks
