Pivot Bio’s use of microbial nitrogen has benefits for the Earth
Pivot Bio’s solution, mIcrobial nitrogen, is made by using a fermentation process. According to Bakery and Snacks, the fermentation process uses less of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide to create, and the finished product avoids the ocean runoff issues synthetic fertilizers create. With this new brand, Pivot Bio is trying to reach “consumers looking for a way to support climate positive practices through their purchases,” according to its press release.
