Balance is essential to maintain and regulate our planet. Unfortunately, anthropogenic activities have disturbed this balance. Each activity humans perform have an impact on our planet, such as building, eating, heating, travelling, transportation, electricity, etc. From this perspective, our everyday activities should be evaluated and considered, in order to minimize our actions’ negative consequences. However, how can you measure or calculate the harmful effect of your activities? A simple, but effective, solution is the carbon footprint, but what does it mean and how does it work?

Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Modern agriculture faces pressure to reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers while maintaining crop productivity and soil health. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, while effective, contribute significantly to environmental degradation through greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and soil acidification. The agricultural sector accounts for approximately 78% of global ammonia emissions and contributes substantially to nitrous oxide production, a potent greenhouse gas. Simultaneously, synthetic fertilizer production requires enormous energy inputs and depletes finite fossil fuel resources. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria have emerged as

You have probably eaten a pasta dish with mushrooms or a pizza with mushrooms, but have you ever looked at mushrooms as a source of health rather than just food? Mushrooms are fungi that have been used by humans for centuries in culinary applications. Currently, more than 2,000 species of mushrooms exist in the wild, but only about 25 species are wildly consumed as food (Valverde et al., 2015). Romans used to call mushrooms “Food of the Gods”, while Chinese people referred to them as “Elixir of Life” due to their various health benefits and medicinal properties (Pardeep K. Khanna & Shivani Sharma, 2013). The aim of this newsletter is to provide a simple and cle

A Success Story of Wheat Cultivation Produced without using pesticides at all – yields reached up to 50 ardab per feddan!! This successful trial was conducted under the scientific supervision of “Royal Green Biotech”.

Broomrape (Orobanche spp.) represents one of the most devastating parasitic weeds affecting Egyptian agriculture, causing substantial yield losses in economically important crops including fava beans (Vicia faba) and carrots (Daucus carota). As an obligate holoparasite completely lacking chlorophyll, broomrape depends entirely on host plants for water, nutrients, and carbohydrates. In Egypt, broomrape infestation has been a persistent challenge, particularly affecting fava bean production—a crop of immense cultural importance as the main ingredient of ful medames. Yield losses in heavily infested fava bean fields can reach 60% or more, while carrot quality

A fantastic success story of growing 18-carat rice, achieving a final yield of 3.5 tons, without the use of any pesticides! An experiment supervised by a scientific team from "Royal Green Biotech "
