There is a considerable need to improve efficiency of animal production to meet the needs of future generations, sustainability goals and affordability. Global demand is requiring this in a more sustainable and safe manner. Evolve looks to overview livestock and crop production in a holistic way to ensure inputs to production meet the needs of the modern consumer and producer eg, natural, sustainable, antibiotic free, residue free, good animal welfare, etc. Products supported by Evolve fit this criteria (see Evolve product sustainability map below)

Global food demands are continually rising yet agriculture is faced with a range of challenges which are limiting the capacity to fulfil this demand. Included in these limitations are sufficient water and quality, decline in fertility and acidification of soils, resistance of pests and diseases and aging of the average farm population. Evolve is researching ways in which fertilisation and soil conditioning practices can be improved for better crop yields, enhanced ability to withstand diseases and pests, improvement of soil structure and ph. At the same time Evolve is looking to lift plant nutrient status for better animal and human nutrition.

Environmental impact of traditional building and road sealing materials along with high initial and maintenance costs have lead to the need for a simpler and more economic solution with minimal environment impact. Claycrete has proved to be an excellent alternative.

Evolve looks to producers in sourcing quality and affordable commodities such as fats, fishmeal, alternative raw materials and forages.
