Lucent Bioannounces the opening of the first Soileos production facility in Rosetown, Saskatchewan.
AGT Soileos, a limited partnership between Lucent Bio andAGT Foods, will produceSoileos, a suite of sustainable crop nutrition products.
Set for October 11, this event celebrates the fusion of innovative sustainable agricultural technology and the circular economy, said a release from Lucent Bio.
"At the grand opening of the Soileos production facility, we plant the seeds of a sustainable future," said Michael Riedijk, founder and CEO of Lucent Bio. "Together, we are redefining the future of crop nutrition with products that are petrochemical-free, non-polluting and climate positive."
The new Soileos production facility leverages Lucent Bio's novel advancements in sustainable crop nutrition and AGT Foods' decades-long expertise in pulse and staple crop processing. The collaboration aims to support global agriculture by upcycling oat and pulse-based cellulose fiber from AGT Foods into crop nutrition products. These products are designed to enhance crop yields, nurture soil health and promote environmental stewardship, said the release.

The strategic choice to repurpose this existing facility underscores a dedication to operational efficiency and environmentally conscious practices — qualities that align seamlessly with the interests of investors seeking stable and sustainable opportunities.
With the grand opening of the Soileos production facility, Lucent Bio has derisked their novel manufacturing process and technology to upcycle cellulose fiber byproducts from food processing into sustainable crop nutrition products at large industrial and commercial scale.
