When you purchase food products and bring them home to cook a delicious meal for you, or your family, or your friends, do you ever stop to wonder if the ingredients that you bought are clean, safe, and healthy for consumption?
If yes, then you and the rest of the human population are in agreement. Because, definitely everyone would want to consume and cook food that is healthy, nutritious, delicious, as well as safely grown and harvested.
In hopes of encouraging sustainable farming practices due to the ever-growing and increasing concerns that persist in the world, certain practices in the Agricultural Industry have been carefully adopted.
Integrating their innovativeness and creative expertise, alongside their go-green initiatives, the practices in regenerative agriculture strategies have been considered widely and efficiently.
Regenerative Agriculture – RA, is a system, method, outcome, and strategy, used to enhance and improve the quality and health of agricultural soil. This method also helps in improving biodiversity, climate, production and productivity, quality, and natural resources such as water. Examples of regenerative agriculture are – Livestock Inclusion and Agroforestry.
Along with Regenerative Agriculture, there is Precision Agriculture – PA (also known as satellite farming) where this method, system, practice, and process is integrated with the use of advanced technological tools, that help in the managing and good production quality of crops. Artificial Intelligence – AI and Machine Learning – ML, alongside the Collection of Data and Remote Sensing, are the various tools used in Precision Agriculture.
Aiming for a future that is driven through complete environmental sustainability practices, we will discuss in this article the explorative journey of one such AgTech company that built its foundations on Regenerative Agriculture practices and helps farmers achieve profits in equity as well as provide the consumers with safe and healthy Kelp!

About The Crop Project and Co-Founder:
The Crop Project was Co-Founded by CEO – Casey Emmett in the year 2020. Being an Agricultural Technology company – AgTech, has its headquarters established in Brooklyn, New York, The United States of America.
The company drives forces toward regenerative agricultural practices with precision farming, to be the world’s best U.S-grown ingredient and supplier of – KELP, specifically the Atlantic Sugar Kelp.
Interesting Insight – The Scientific Name of the Aquatic Kelp is known as Saccharina latissima.
The Crop Project aims to expedite the Atlantic Sugar Kelp farmed by small and local farmers along the Atlantic Coast, by purifying and processing the produce for the use of consumption of food, oral dietary supplement intakes, skincare products, and food for pets.
While encouraging Environmental, Social, and Governance – ESG framework, green initiatives in equitable farming, and prioritizing soil health – The Crop Project aims to increase and provide Kelp that is rich in nutritional value, improving the healthiness of skin, and in the reduction of sodium intake.
The farming, production, and processing of this Atlantic Sugar Kelp as a regenerative agriculture practice, helps the biodiversity and the environment by restoration and preservation of this nutrient-dense and carbon dioxide-loving ingredient which saves acidification of the ocean.
The process includes the company filtering out around 25 million gallons of water every day and eliminating nitrogen content by a ton. Kelp farming also increases fish production in the area and coastal regions annually by 5 tons.
To Conclude:
The Crop Project – co-founded by Casey Emmett in the year 2020 was established in Brooklyn, New York. The business has acquired around 1.5 million dollars as seed and stretches its arms providing help and support in crop management as well as in growing Aquatic Sugar Kelp for the local farmers.
