University of Utah Recognizes Aqua-Yield/Nano Institute Partnership in New Annual Report

In a newly-published annual report, the University of Utah’s Center for Technology & Venture Commercialization (TVC) touts the first-of-its-kind collaboration between Aqua-Yield, the university’s Nano Institute and the TVC. It is a partnership based on assuring the sustainability of agriculture in the United States and around the globe through nanotechnology and nanoparticles, included in Aqua-Yield’s unique product line of specialty liquid fertilizers.

The university/corporate project, overseen by Aqua-Yield Chief Science Officer Landon Bunderson PhD and Dr. Hamid Ghandehari, co-director of the Nano Institute, includes “building”/inventing nano-particles that will specifically focus on agriculture and combine these new findings with the “nanogronomy” advancements already instituted and in practice at Aqua-Yield. The company has been involved with nanotechnology since its startup in 2014.
