The company believes that FLiPPER has a fundamental role in helping answer one of planet earth’s most pressing questions: how do we feed a growing population in ways that have a lower impact on global biodiversity

FLiPPER is a bio-insecticide that provides effective control of the sucking pests (that would otherwise spread viral diseases and destroy crops) but thanks to the way it works, it is much less harmful to populations of pollinators and the other beneficial insects resident in the fields where we grow our food.

Its active ingredient is extracted from the olive and allows growers to produce crops that are free of chemical residues. The product is now in its second year in the market with regulatory approval for sale in all countries across Europe as well asIsrael & Ethiopia.
