Darren Anderson

CEO at Vive Crop Protection

I'm excited about what we're building here at Vive. The big idea behind Vive is to make existing inputs better - whether they are based on synthetic chemistry or a bio-based solution. This helps growers do more with less. Using our flagship product, a single 2000 acre sugar beet grower will save 40000 gallons of water, 210 gallons of diesel, 18 hours of farm labour, and make an additional $10 for every $ they invest in Vive’s products. And unlike other companies that specialize in either synthetic chemistry or bio-based pesticides, we develop unique products based on combinations of the two. We believe these combinations are critical to accelerate the adoption of bio-based products. Combination products have higher product performance, higher trust by growers, and lower cost - and are better for the planet. I'm excited about what we're building here at Vive.
