Nitrogen-Negative Fertilizer

We are committed to reducing the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, reducing environmental pollution and improving food safety performance.

We propose using biological compound fertilizers including controlled-release fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers. With these controlled-release fertilizers, we can increase the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizers up to 60-90%(ordinary rate is about 30%), which can largely reduce the number of nitrogen fertilizers per acre and the emission of carbon dioxide during the production process. At the same time, we also apply the bio-organic fertilizers which make the nitrogen fertilizers(mostly amino acid) that can not be used by crops be used, thereby reducing the application of urea fertilizers. With these fertilizers, we can improve the soil, enhance the resistance of crops and decrease chemical pollution. 

If our solution was scaled globally, we could slow down soil desertification, reduce groundwater pollution and air pollution, and improve the yield and quality of crops.

In China, a report released in 2007 estimated that 300 million Chinese might be affected by foodborne disease annually. Worldwide, an estimated 600 million which is almost 1 in 10 falls ill after eating contaminated food and 4200000 die every year, resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy life years. According to a study published in The Lancet, water pollution caused 1.8 million deaths in 2015. And every year, unsafe water sickens about 1 billion people. Also surprisingly, air pollution kills an estimated 7 million people worldwide every year. WHO data shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air containing high levels of pollutants.

Our solution can help reduce chemical containments and pesticide residues in agriculture which is an essential factor causing food issues. Our solution also can substantially increase the utilization rate of urea fertilizers which would otherwise largely run off into water contributing water pollution. Our solution can help cut down the emission of carbon dioxide produced during the industrial production of urea fertilizers and the incineration of rural straw, animal waste, organic waste, etc by fermenting them into bio-organic fertilizers via biological bacteria, thereby reducing the air pollution.

Our solution applies controlled-release fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers. 
The controlled-release urea fertilizers can improve fertilizer utilization and reduce fertilizer application. These are made by using fluidized bed coating equipment to apply a layer of thin-film material on the surface of granular urea to achieve the slow release of nitrogen fertilizers, which is well-aligned with the demand for nitrogen fertilizers by crops, thereby improving the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizers and reducing the loss of urea fertilizers. 

The bio-organic fertilizers can recycle the organic matter which can not be directly used by crops into biological organic fertilizers. It is to mix organic matter such as plants and animal feces and put it into biological bacteria to ferment it at room temperature and pressure, so that the nitrogen and nutrients in the organic matter can be use d by crops, thereby decreasing the application of chemical fertilizers and reducing the emission of carbon. 
Overall, the combination of controlled-release urea fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers can considerably reduce the number of urea fertilizers, achieving the purpose of low carbon and food safety. 

In cities, it is provided to community residents, in rural areas, to farmers, to help them improve the quality of life, improve the living environment, and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving soil, increasing crop quality, and increasing crop yield.

In urban communities, we provide biological strains and teach them how to make organic fertilizers into biological organic fertilizers through biological fermentation, and how to use it to improve soil and improve crop yield and quality. At the factory, we provide polymer materials to guide them on how to make and produce controlled-release urea fertilizers. Finally, we will guide farmers on how to use controlled-release fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers correctly, reduce the number of fertilizers applied, and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving the soil, increasing crop quality, and increasing crop yields.

The large-scale application of traditional fertilizers has led to increased carbon emissions worldwide, soil compaction and desertification, and nutrients are easily lost, resulting in serious groundwater pollution. Therefore, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers can well address the second dimension of the challenge: to encourage larger farmers and ranchers to reduce carbon emissions, land use changes, nutrient runoff, or water pollution.

Compared to other solutions that aim to address the same problem, our solution is much more advanced, effective, and technology-based. The core technology of our solution is using intelligent materials to make intelligent controlled-release urea fertilizers and using biological bacteria to make bio-organic bacterial fertilizers. The most unique technology of our solution is that by using intelligent controlled-release urea fertilizers, we can control the release rate of urea fertilizers artificially to largely increase the utilization rate of urea fertilizers. The most unique idea of our solution is the combined use of both intelligent controlled-release urea fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers, which can further increase the use of urea fertilizers and also improve the soil, increase the yield and quality of crops.

Our core technology is making controlled-release urea fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers. The production of controlled-release urea fertilizer uses temperature-sensitive degradable composite materials to make various material formulations, producing different release periods (such as 50 days, 80 days, 120 days, 150 days or 200 days, etc.), and different release modes (such as linear and curved) intelligent controlled-release urea fertilizers. So we can control the release rate of urea fertilizers artificially to increase the use of urea fertilizers. And the production of bio-organic fertilizers uses self-developed compound biological bacteria to make bio-organic bacterial fertilizers, decreasing or replacing the use of urea fertilizers and other chemical fertilizers.

The technology related to controlled-release fertilizer is a less common technology.

We are currently serving around 2,000 people. And we will be serving around 4,000 people in one year. Finally, around 10,000 people will be served in five years. 

We hope that in most areas of the world, controlled-release fertilizers and bio-organic bacterial fertilizers can be used in agriculture. Through the United Nations and the World Food and Agriculture Organization, to actively promote and promote the significance of this technological innovation. We can also actively promote this activity through the declaration of international patents, or the use of Internet technology, or the establishment of multinational companies, or the World Fund.

The use of controlled-release materials to produce controlled-release fertilizers and the use of biological bacteria to produce bio-organic fertilizers all require a certain amount of financial support to transform traditional fertilizer production lines or establish new processing workshops. For technology promotion and application, it also requires a certain amount of funds to operate, operate and manage. The promotion and application of controlled-release fertilizers and bio-organic fertilizers will also be affected by the policies, laws and taxes of the development of agriculture and fertilizer industry in various countries. At the same time, they will also be affected by the culture, language and education of different countries.

We are thankful that MIT is providing such a great platform for us to communicate and collaborate with other individuals or organizations. We believe that our project is oriented to the world, and it is closely related to solving food safety, climate warming, land desertification, and groundwater pollution, which are of concern to all mankind, and our technology is the best choice to solve these problems. To this end, our team aims to participate the incoming meeting held in New York this year, where we will promote our technology and products to more than 400 outstanding investors, entrepreneurs, and collaborators, clarify our claims, and at the same time transfer our shares, Recruit social funds to solve the problem of shortage of funds in the initial stage of entrepreneurship. We warmly welcome MIT and outstanding scientific researchers around the world to join our team to develop better technologies and products. We want to use this challenge to strive for all available resources and promote our ideas, including working with MIT to carry out worldwide technical training and talent training to improve the reputation of the team and the company. We will also establish company web pages and branches to expand the scale of cooperation. We must actively declare technology patents of various countries and protect intellectual property rights. Finally, we must take advantage of the policy advantages of countries in developing organic agriculture, protecting the environment, eradicating poverty, so that our projects can receive more government resources and more government support.

We have 5 full-time staff, 5 part-time staff, 6 contractors, and 10 other workers on our solution team. 

Our core technology is developed by Prof. Junsong Liu. After obtained his Ph. D from Osaka Prefecture University, he was engaged in the research and development of controlled-release fertilizers and biological bacteria products at the world-famous controlled-release fertilizer institute in Japan. Now he continues to engage in scientific research at Hubei University. He has more than a dozen Chinese national authorized invention patents, developed controlled-release fertilizers and bio-organic bacteria fertilizers, and some products have been promoted and applied in rice, citrus in China, Japan, and the United States.

This participation of the challenge is managed by Runcheng Liu. He is currently a second-year undergraduate majoring in Physics and Mathematics at Tsinghua University. He has a wide range of knowledge in Physics, Math, Computer Science and is passionate about applying knowledge to creating new ideas and solving problems. 

In 2006, our team established Wuhan Lvsu High-tech Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and is committed to the research and development of controlled release fertilizers, biological bacteria, and biological fertilizers. We have declared or obtained nearly 20 invention patents including rice, citrus, rape, cotton, and other major crop controlled-release fertilizers and their preparation methods. We have produced 40-day, 80-day, and 120-day controlled-release urea samples to meet the technical standards of Japan and the European Union, and have also invented more than a dozen polymer controlled-release material formulas. At the same time, We also developed solid and liquid composite biological bacteria cultivation technology and successfully applied the technology in various parts of China. At the same time, we also cooperated with Prof. Yuanping Long(a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Director-General of the China National Hybrid Rice R&D Center) to carry out experiments of reducing nitrogen fertilizer application and increasing efficiency. We also cooperate with Zhejiang University, Hubei University, Hubei Provincial Fisheries Research Institute, Yangtze River Water Resources Commission, China Guangxi Citrus Research Institute, etc. Overseas, we have cooperated with numerous Japanese companies. Currently, we are collaborating with Dr. Jinhe Bai of the USDA Horticultural Research Institute to carry out the use of bio-organic bacterial fertilizers to control citrus yellow dragon disease.

We plan to set up an agricultural cooperative, which consists of the project owner, investors, and farmers. The three parties will jointly invest in technology, capital, and land to jointly operate the cooperative. This cooperative organization plans to mobilize farmers to use waste organic matter to make bio-organic bacterial fertilizers, produce organic agricultural products, and provide them to the market and consumers for profit. The agricultural products should be one or more crops suitable for the local soil and climate, for example, rice, wheat, soybeans, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and fruit trees, or very popular agricultural products on the market, such as sweet oranges, apples, Melon, sugar cane, etc. In all parts of the world, especially in developing countries, whether in rural or urban communities, we can always see the plant debris, food waste, and animals abandoned by the river, lake, or houses. Manure, food processing raw materials, etc., are all good raw materials for making bio-organic fertilizers. The organization uses this technology to continuously produce bio-organic fertilizers, and then continue to develop new production bases for organic agricultural products. Provide safe and high quality organic agricultural products to vast cities and villages. This business model has rich profit margins and a huge input-output ratio. It can provide good economic returns for investors and operators. At the same time, social and ecological benefits are significant. So it is easy to raise funding from community residents and the government. This business model is suitable for replication and promotion anywhere in the world.

The problem of fertilizers in agriculture is not only related to food safety issues, but also relates to a lot of pollution contributed by the application of large amounts of chemical fertilizers, such as global warming, land desertification, and eutrophication of groundwater. These problems are partly caused by the unreasonable use of inorganic nitrogen fertilizers and their low utilization rate. Therefore, almost every country around the world attaches great importance to the technical innovation and effective use of inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. These problems are as important as the poverty problem causing huge harm to human beings. For this reason, if our team’s solution is selected, we will use this opportunity to vigorously promote our technology and ideas, let more people understand us, support us, join our team, and promote it in the community or rural area where they live to apply our technology and products. At the same time, we also hope to take advantage of this great opportunity to have more social funds to invest in our technologies and products. Everyone together makes our common pursuit and career bigger and stronger.

We hope that our technology and products have a solid market share of about 30%. We also hope that our company will have a good resource allocation, a good customer evaluation, a continuous profitable income, a good technology development capability. Finally, we will achieve good outcomes from economics, social, and ecological benefits. We will be contributing to solving global warming, desertification of soil, eutrophication of groundwater, and safety issues of agricultural products. And at the same time, this can bring rich returns to investors, forming a healthy and effective chain of wealth.

Any organization and individual, as long as they recognize and support our project, we are willing to cooperate actively with them and share the joy of success. We are more willing to cooperate with MIT faculty and organizations in all-round technology research and development, fund recruitment, and market planning. We welcome MIT's relative teams to work with us in the automation of controlled-release fertilizer equipment manufacturing, automatic identification of soil and plant nutrients with artificial intelligence, simulation of controlled-release fertilizer nutrients release, polymer material degradation, big data analysis of global land and plant nutrition, big data analysis of the contribution of NO gas and ammonia release to global warming, automatic identification of microbial ecological communities, etc. In order to carry out active cooperative scientific research to improve the research and development strength of the project, we are willing to transfer equity to promote any form of cooperation.

The food problem is a huge problem faced by refugees, and food production requires land and fertilizers. Our team is willing to use the bonus to guide the refugees on how to carry out the production of bio-organic fertilizer on the spot, and how to use these bio-organic fertilizers for organic farming. Especially guide them how to improve the soil, produce organic rice, vegetables and fruits, and other safe agricultural products, let them use the technology they have learned to build their beautiful homes, create their own happy and beautiful life, get rid of poverty and hunger as soon as possible. Nothing is more meaningful than this work.

In many underdeveloped countries and regions, women and female children live below the poverty line. They do not have access to education and learn new technologies. At the same time, these countries also face financial difficulties in providing them with safe agricultural products. To this end, we are willing to use the fund to open technical training schools, establish women’s and children’s production cooperatives, teach them how to produce bio-organic fertilizers. And at the same time, we will instruct them how to use bio-organic fertilizers to improve poor soil, plant afforestation, and greening Homeland, scientifically and rationally plan land, grow rice, flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees, increase economic income, improve quality of life, and get rid of poverty and hunger at an early date.

First of all, the process of dynamic nitrogen transfer and balance includes the precise release of controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers, the supply of effective nitrogen fertilizers in the soil, the absorption of nitrogen fertilizers by crops, and the loss of nitrogen fertilizers as crops are harvested. In this process, excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers will lead to nitrogen loss and pollution. On the contrary, inadequate application of nitrogen fertilizers will cause crop yield to decline. Thus, Obtaining and analyzing the data of nitrogen dynamic transfer in the above process, establishing its dynamic demand model, and predicting the reasonable amount of nitrogen for the crops to realize the intelligent management of nitrogen will reduce the nitrogen loss caused by the overuse of nitrogen fertilizers worldwide. It can ultimately slow down the resulting climate warming, land desertification, groundwater eutrophication, and its accumulation of nitrosamines in agricultural products. Secondly, the application of bio-organic bacterial fertilizer can also greatly increase the amount of soil organic matter, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, slow down the desertification of soil and soil erosion, improve crop quality. Using information technology to obtain the above massive data, and finding out the amount of organic matter and nitrogen fertilizers inside the land, then computing the amount of organic matter and nitrogen fertilizers needed to provide the land for planting crops, will eventually solve the problem of climate warming, desertification of land, eutrophication of groundwater and accumulation of nitrosamines of agricultural products due to unreasonable fertilization. This research can only be achieved by conducting massive data analysis through information science, and the results will have great research value and significance.

The greatest challenges facing humanity in the future are global warming, desertification of land, food security, food safety, air pollution, and water pollution. Each of these problems is closely related to the production and application of agricultural fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers. Scientific and reasonable nitrogen fertilizer production and application will provide effective answers for humans to alleviate global warming, land desertification, food security, food security, atmospheric pollution, and water pollution. On the contrary, ignoring and neglecting the fertilizer problem will bring losses and disasters to human beings. Therefore, this project is eligible to declare any fund and get their support. Because, if the soil under your feet, the food you eat, the water you drink, and the air you breathe, any one of them is severely polluted. It will eventually pose the greatest threat to human development. Nothing is more worthy of challenge and action than this problem unless you have found an ideal home in the sky outside the earth.
