Groundwork BioAg announced today that industry leader Andrew Duff has joined as General Manager - North America.

Duff’s more than 20 years of experience in biostimulants, seed technology and U.S. crop production will help the company accelerate the adoption of its Rootella mycorrhizal inoculants and meet demand for biological solutions in mainstream crops, such as corn, soybean and cotton.

“The demand from mainstream growers for more biological and regenerative solutions continues to increase,” said Hanan Dor, Chief Commercial Officer at Groundwork BioAg. “The United States remains an important growth market for us and essential to producing more sustainable food for the world. As a well-respected leader in agriculture and a life-long farmer, we believe Andrew is the right person to help us to expand our strategic partnerships, meet grower demand for our Rootella product portfolio and accelerate our carbon sequestration projects to help all farmers tap into existing carbon markets.”
