Elicit Plant, the agri-biotech tackling water stress

About us

Our mission

Our mission is to provide solutions, with proven scientific results and benefits, that help agriculture adapt to climate change, starting with water stress in field crops.

Our vision

We believe in a resilient agricultural and food system, harnessing the power of plants to build a better future, more
respectful of nature and people. We are able to contribute to this, thanks to our unique technology that elicits plants ; natural defenses to cope with stress, and provides better resistance to climate change.

Ten billion people to feed by 2050.

Ten billion people to feed by 2050.

As the world moves forward, so do the
challenges of climate change.
Unpredictable rainfall is one of those big
challenges. It leads to irregular crop
yields, and threatens farmers’ livelihoods,
biodiversity and human health and
nutrition.
It has never been more urgent to take
action. Solutions depend on changing
practices, empowering farmers,
protecting our planet’s biodiversity and
creating a resilient and adaptable food
system for future generations. This is
what Elicit Plant delivers.

Elicit Plant develops sustainable, cost-effective and efficient solutions for farmers which enable plants to activate their own defenses against unpredictable and volatile weather conditions, and the related effects of climate change. By enhancing plants; natural capacities, we offer solutions that deliver a real return on investment and have a positive impact on the planet.

We have translated our unique
scientific understanding of the
mechanisms that enable plants to
activate their own defenses against
stress into a new category of
proven, affordable and easy-to-
use solutions, geared primarily to
farmers.
We are the first company to improve
agricultural practices through the use
of exclusive
phytosterol formulations. We have
unlocked the secret of adapting their
properties from plant
to product application, with
unprecedented results validated in
the field.

Our eco-responsible approach

Respect for the environment and people are among our core values, and we have earned the French LUCIE 26000 label which awards our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

Elicit Plants ambition is to offer natural, high-performance alternative solutions for an ecological transition in agriculture. The aim is to achieve a balance between preserving natural resources and modern agriculture. Between conventional and organic farming, Elicit Plant pursues a third approach based on innovation and natural, effective alternatives. Many products known as ‘biostimulants’ unfortunately fail to live up to their promises. Elicit Plant is developing a product approach based on searching for never-before-seen innovative solutions which must provide farmers with added technical value in terms of yield and result.
