Corn Problems

• Susceptible to disease and pests• Requires a specific temperature range• Requires a specific amount of water (1-2in/week)• Must be grown by experienced growers• Growers need infrastructure to grow &

harvest

Most of Arable Land Have Been Used

There’s Very Little Farmland Left

Farmland Is Degraded

NuCorn Tech Solutions

• Genetic hybrid was made using genes from desert plants.

• Allows roots to grow laterally & vertically.• Optimized for maximum immunity to pests• NuCorn Tech corn requires less water and

tolerates higher temperatures
