## Pivot Bio’s N-OVATOR® Program Earns Spot on TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions List for 2024
Pivot Bio, a leading force in the sustainable agriculture space, has been recognized by TIME Magazine for its groundbreaking N-OVATOR® program. The program, featured on TIME’s 2024 list of Best Inventions, is a testament to Pivot Bio’s commitment to empowering farmers with innovative solutions for a more environmentally friendly future.
The N-OVATOR® program stands out for its unique approach to incentivizing environmentally conscious farming practices. It rewards farmers financially for adopting Pivot Bio’s next-generation technology, which leverages microbial sources of nitrogen instead of relying on synthetic fertilizers. This shift towards a more natural approach not only benefits the environment but also offers farmers potential cost savings, with some participants seeing their fertilizer costs reduced by 50%.
Since its launch in 2022, the N-OVATOR® program has distributed over $13 million to farmers, acknowledging their efforts in contributing to a healthier planet. This success story is a direct result of Pivot Bio’s dedication to providing sustainable solutions that elevate nitrogen performance and ultimately enhance crop yields.
Chris Abbott, CEO of Pivot Bio, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, highlighting the program’s significant impact on farmers leading the charge in sustainable agriculture. He emphasized the collaborative nature of the program, thanking Pivot Bio’s corporate partners across the food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, and fuel industries for their invaluable support in bringing this innovative program to life.
Looking ahead, Pivot Bio remains committed to expanding the reach and impact of the N-OVATOR® program. The company is actively exploring opportunities to bring the program to new geographies and crops, establishing additional value chain partnerships in the process. Moreover, Pivot Bio is actively developing next-generation products that could further reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen, further enhancing the environmental and economic benefits for both farmers and the planet.
This recent accolade from TIME Magazine marks yet another milestone for Pivot Bio, following its inclusion in MIT Tech Review’s 2024 list of the 15 climate tech companies to watch, S2G/THRIVE’s top 50 Ag Tech companies, and Congruent Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank’s 50 by 2050 list of pioneers in carbon reduction.
