New Energy Farms (NEF)
NEF is an agricultural technology company with over 30 years’ experience in developing propagation systems for crops that don’t produce seeds.
Around 50% of the world’s most important food crops, including sugarcane, are propagated using stem or root cuttings rather than seeds. NEF has developed and patented a unique technology called CEEDS™, which creates synthetic seeds for these crops, making them easier and more efficient to plant.
CEEDSTM Technology
CEEDSTM is a synthetic seed system, using small planting capsules that mimic conventional seeds. For the first time, these crops can be drilled directly into the ground just like seeded crops.
It’s an advanced form of vegetative propagation that begins with tissue culture and is suitable for a wide range of crops – from grasses to other high-value species.
CEEDSTM Application in Sugarcane
Sugarcane is a prime example, grown on over 25 million hectares and traditionally planted using bulky stem cuttings.
CEEDSTM technology dramatically improves planting logistics by reducing the weight of planting material by up to 20 times per hectare. It also brings major advantages in speed, cost, safety, and diseases-free propagation.
Working With Us
We provides CEEDS™ through technology licensing, enabling customers to plant vegetative crops via synthetics seeds.
We support end users, farm groups, and project developers through a full technology transfer program, which typically takes 6 to 12 months to set up and begin CEEDS™ production.
Licensing packages are currently available for sugarcane, with more crops in development.
