What is SOP SAVE OUR PLANET?
Founded back in 2001, SOP SAVE OUR PLANET has one clear mission: to save our planet by helping farmers and breeders boost their value. Using their proprietary and scientifically validated SOP Inside technology, they offer innovative solutions that not only improve agricultural yield but also tackle climate change head-on. It’s all about making farming smarter and more sustainable, with a real focus on the future.
Main Benefits of SOP’s Approach
The impact of SOP’s technology is pretty impressive. Here are some key facts and figures that show why their approach stands out:
- Certified sustainable company aligned with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Holds an ESG rating of AAA and proudly carries B Corp certification.
- Products help farms kickstart sustainability certification and improve their ESG ratings.
- The SOP Inside technology stimulates microorganisms in animals, manure, and fields, creating a virtuous circle of benefits.
- Reduces synthetic fertilization while improving plant resilience and yield quality.
- Promotes biovalorization of manure, which fluidifies it and reduces odors and emissions.
How SOP’s Technology Works in Practice
The magic lies in the SOP Inside technology, which activates microorganisms across different environments on the farm. In animals, dedicated product lines boost both their bioresilience and the biohygienization of the barn environment. In fields, the Agro Line reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers, enhancing plant health and crop quality. And when it comes to manure, specific products tailored for each animal type promote biovalorization, fluidifying stored manure and cutting down on odors and harmful emissions. It’s a full-circle approach that benefits the entire farm ecosystem.
Scientific Validation and Research
SOP’s commitment to sustainability isn’t just talk. Their products’ effectiveness has been rigorously tested and proven by numerous scientific studies conducted by some of the world’s top universities. These include the University of California (Davis), Cornell University, the University of Guelph in Canada, and several prestigious Italian universities such as Milan, Perugia, Parma, and Turin. This solid scientific backing ensures that their solutions are not only innovative but also reliable and effective.
The Team Behind SOP
Behind the scenes, SOP is powered by a dedicated technical-scientific team of international caliber. Around 50 experts work daily to push the boundaries of sustainable agriculture. Their distribution network spans Europe and the Americas, making their solutions accessible to a wide range of farms. At the helm is Marco Poggianella, Co-Founder and CEO, a physics and natural phenomena enthusiast who brings passion and deep knowledge to the company. He’s also actively involved in major international sustainability events focused on agriculture, keeping SOP at the cutting edge of the industry.
