INTELLICROPS

The mission of Intellicrops, a VUB spin-off established in 1999, is to develop novel crops for food, feed and industrial applications that grow on marginal land (too saline, too dry, too polluted.) or who need peculiar growth factors.

The core activities of the company consist in transferring the appropriate cultivation techniques for the novel crops (agricultural consultancy) and developing novel techniques with saline crops for non-food applications (e.g. feed additives, phytoremediation, biomass...).
