At Provectus, we are on a mission to revolutionise sustainable agriculture by using Precision Photosynthesis® to accelerate nature in a proprietary biomanufacturing platform. Our focus is on producing Asparagopsis seaweed, which is used in performance feed additives that significantly reduce methane emissions in livestock and improve on-farm yields.

Headquartered in Noosa, Australia, our team has built a scalable and sustainable product development and biomanufacturing platform. We are now rapidly scaling operations to meet the increasing demand for our methane-reducing feed additive, Surf’N’Turf®, in global markets. This additive has the potential to reduce methane emissions by up to 95% in ruminants, contributing to a more sustainable future for agriculture.
