 Cleantech and #ClimateChange #Podcast - Senior Attorney with Center for Biological Diversity Discusses Environmental Impact of Government Funding TC Energy (NYSE: $TRP) Keystone XL Pipeline



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, April 6, 2020  – (Investorideas.com Newswire) -Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks (Renewableenergystocks.comissues today’s edition of the Cleantech and Climate Change Podcast, talking about today's problems and solutions for the future.

Listen to the Podcast:


Podcast host: Dawn Van Zant, founder of Investorideas.com

Today  Investorideas.com is talking to Jared Margolis, Senior Attorney with the  Endangered Species Program  for the Center for Biological Diversity, discussing  Alberta’s Premier, Jason Kenny and his  recent announcement of financial investment and support for the Keystone XL pipeline  with TC Energy Corporation (NYSE:TRP) and the potential environmental consequences of such actions 

TC Energy announced on March 31 that it will proceed with construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline Project resulting in an investment of approximately US$8.0 billion into the North American economy.

Margolis says, looking at the current global pandemic, “The response to the coronavirus has been unprecedented. While the world is seeing this as something we need to deal with right away and taking actions, why are we not taking the same actions with climate change?”

“The coronavirus has economic impacts but it’s a time where we should be looking for solutions for climate change, a potentially large catastrophe. In 2020 the WEF ranked climate change as the biggest risk to the economy and society. “

“I think when people start making the connection between climate and health, then hopefully they will see there has to be some changes.”
Following the interview with Jared Margolis on April 1st,  on April 2nd the Edmonton Journal reported “ Alberta’s UCP government has suspended environmental reporting requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic with ministerial orders signed by Environment Minister Jason Nixon Tuesday.”
“For three months, industry does not need to report as required under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Water Act and the Public Lands Act — with the exception of drinking water and wastewater facilities.”

#Agtech / #SustainableAgriculture #Stocks – Growth in Investment During #Coronavirus Pandemic (TSXV: $CSX.V) (NYSE: $AVD) (NYSE: $NTR) (TSX: $NTR.TO), (NYSE: $DIET) (NASDAQ: $BYND)


#Agtech / #SustainableAgriculture #Stocks – Growth in Investment During #Coronavirus Pandemic (TSXV: $CSX.V) (NYSE: $AVD) (NYSE: $NTR) (TSX: $NTR.TO), (NYSE: $DIET) (NASDAQ: $BYND)


Point Roberts WA, Delta BC  April 6,  2020 -Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource releases a sustainable agriculture snapshot featuring Vancouver-based Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (TSX-V: CSX).


The sustainable agriculture and agtech sectors are seeing an influx of investment and support in the face of the coronavirus pandemic as the future of food supplies and how we grow food is being scrutinized.  

According to an article in TechAccel, Stunning growth in Ag Biotech Market investments, “Two years ago, we shared a map of the Ag Biotech Market that showed 245 startups working in plant and animal biotechnology. Since that original map, we’ve continued to track the market and, this year found a stunning doubling of investment dollars – $6.9 billion across 385 companies, compared to $3.4 billion in 245 companies in 2017. This investment is robust, despite the protracted negative agricultural cycle and massive impacts from trade tariffs.”

In a recent press release from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister said, while talking about a  federal investment of $560,000 for the CFA to develop the Canadian Agri-Food Sustainability Initiative: More and more, customers of Canada's high-quality food want to know that their food was produced ethically, with a minimized impact on the environment. Canada's farmers and processors are already leaders when it comes to the use of more green technologies and practices in our food production. This new initiative is an important tool to tell our story and build consumers trust for our producers."

Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (TSX-V: CSX) an agtech innovator and creater of the world’s first true variable-rate smart seeding technology, the SMART Seeder™,  recently made headlines in the sustainable agriculture sector. 

Clean Seed just announced a US $5M strategic license and investment agreement with US based AMVAC Chemical Corporation (“AMVAC”), a subsidiary of American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE: AVD).  ( News from AVD)

Graeme Lempriere, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Clean Seed states “Our aligned objectives, to deliver sustainable meaningful results for the agricultural sector through the precise application and control of inputs, are rooted in the stewardship of our soil structure. AMVAC’s leadership in the chemical business and Clean Seed’s cutting edge leadership in the multi product delivery systems and related SMART Seeder™ and SMART Planter™ technologies assures a mutually beneficial relationship that strengthens our collective efforts and protects our product offerings. It has been a pleasure working with this likeminded group. I am also delighted to welcome Dr. Ulrich (Bob) Trogele, PhD to our Board of Directors and look forward to collaborating with him and the AMVAC teams on multiple levels as we share in the drive for industry leadership and innovation.”

From the news: Founded in 1969, American Vanguard has five decades of sustainable, responsible growth. AMVAC delivers unique solutions for the broad array of challenges to enhance agricultural productivity and safeguard public health. AMVAC has earned a place among the world’s top specialty chemical providers in the world, with businesses in USA, Mexico, Central and Latin America, Europe, Brazil, Australia and Canada.

AMVAC is also recognized as an industry leader in closed delivery systems, like its SmartBox® closed delivery application system, which serves to reduce risk of exposure to users and applicators. Building on that expertise, AMVAC has developed a more advanced system called SIMPAS (Smart Integrated Multiproduct Prescriptive Application System). AMVAC’s patented SIMPAS system enables simultaneous variable precision rate application of multiple crop protection and nutritional inputs to maximize harvest yield, minimize grower costs, optimize soil health and benefit environmental sustainability.  This precision application of crop input segment runs parallel with Clean Seed’s patented development of its ground-breaking highly advanced SMART seeding and SMART planting technologies, creating a symbiotic opportunity for both parties.  

As part of this relationship Clean Seed will license AMVAC certain intellectual property rights for a US$2,500,000 upfront fee and an ongoing royalty of certain delivery systems.  Clean Seed will provide ongoing development support as the parties may mutually agree to for future growth and diversification opportunities.

AMVAC will also be investing an additional US$2,500,000 through the purchase of 6,250,000 common shares of the Company at a price of US$0.40 per share (the “Offering”), bringing the total up-front investment to US$5,000,000.

Clean Seed, bringing agtech to sustainable agriculture says on its website,  “Today, everything has advanced, just look at your new tablet, laptop and cellphone and it is clear, ‘things have changed.’ Clean Seed is at the forefront of the digital age of agriculture and is clearly focused on facilitating progress for the farmer and global food production as a whole.”

Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE: NTR) (TSX: NTR.TO), the world's largest provider of crop inputs and services, playing a critical role in helping growers increase food production in a sustainable manner, is optimistic about the coming season as other sectors face downsizing.

Nutrien recently announced that it continues to expect solid demand for crop inputs for the coming spring season and that its facilities continue to operate given its business is deemed an essential service by governments. Nutrien also announced that its annual meeting of shareholders will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). This year, to proactively deal with the public health impact of COVID-19, Nutrien will hold the meeting in a virtual only format via live online webcast.

"Nutrien continues to expect solid demand for crop inputs for the spring season, despite some recent wet weather in the US, which has caused modest delays in field activity in some regions of the country. Our business is deemed essential by governments around the world, which underscores the criticality of the agriculture sector. Our facilities have continued to operate, under enhanced safety protocols, in order to ensure growers globally have the products and solutions they need to maximize crop production. Nutrien has a strong balance sheet, stable dividend and ample access to liquidity as we enter our peak period of demand," commented Chuck Magro, Nutrien’s President and CEO.

Reflecting the future of the sector was news of  the  launch of The Defiance Next Gen Food and Agriculture ETF (NYSE: DIET) late last year.

From the news: The DIET ETF provides exposure to companies that are focused on technologies like alternative plant-based sources of meat, such as Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND), seed modification, sustainable farming and irrigation techniques.

 “One of the most important challenges facing the world right now is finding ways to massively increase global food supply in a way that also manages environmental impacts and meets the needs of an increasingly health-conscious consumer,” said Paul Dellaquila, President of Defiance ETFs.

GreenBIZ reported, “Amid the white noise of COVID-19 pandemic coverage last week, news about the $80 million funding round for alternative protein company Nature’s Fynd offered a bright beacon of positivity. While the financing revelation was delayed a week because of the crisis, the sizeable round extends the steady growth of funding for this particular niche of the overall agtech space.”

Agtech and sustainable agriculture are the wave of the future and not only in the face of the coronavirus pandemic but also as an ally in the fight against climate change moving forward.

Breaking #Agriculture News; #Agtech Stock Clean Seed Capital Group (TSXV: $CSX.V) closes US$5M Strategic Agreement with American Vanguard Company (NYSE: $AVD)

April 3, 2020 - Vancouver, British Columbia – (Investorideas.com Newswire) Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (“Clean Seed” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CSX) is pleased to announce it has closed a strategic license and investment agreement with US based AMVAC Chemical Corporation (“AMVAC”), a subsidiary of American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE: AVD).

Dr. Trogele, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of AMVAC states, “AMVAC is investing into this strategic technology relationship with Clean Seed, leveraging the superior at plant technology of both companies, as they are symbiotic in providing farmers globally with sustainable soil health and precision planting solutions. When combining the multiple functions of Clean Seed’s newest leading edge planter/seeder offering with the multiple precision at plant soil input potential of AMVAC’s SIMPAS system, a grower will have up to eight critical inputs deployable at planting – a precision technology set of capabilities that simply is not presently available to farmers. Further, both companies look forward to collaborating in ways that take advantage of each company’s technology for mutually beneficial business development. The timing is excellent, as we continue to see the precision agriculture application business growing and evolving to meet the changing demands of consumers and society. It’s an honor and pleasure to join the Clean Seed Board of Directors and work with such a talented professional management team to bring innovation into the Agribusiness space.”

In addition, he has worked at the country, regional and corporate general management level.

Phoenix, Arizona - March 31, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) today reported audited financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had total sales of $3,343,833 and $1,154,671, respectively, representing an 189% increase in year over year gross revenue.


The primary driver of the revenue increase of$2,189,162 in revenues was due to the acquisition of Direct Solar in May 2019 representing six months of revenue through December 31, 2019. On a full-year unaudited pro forma basis Direct Solar America would have surpassed $4,000,000 in revenue as reported in the 2019 Annual Report. The Gross Profit was $990,777 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with a Gross Profit of $267,799 for the year ended December 31, 2018, representing a 269% increase for the year over year. The overall net loss decreased in 2019 as compared to 2018.

"The positive operational results in 2019 represent the commitment we have to our stakeholders to enhance revenues by executing on growth initiatives and acquisitions that we believe will continue to add value. We are ecstatic about the continued growth of SinglePoint and look forward to achieving significant growth through 2020. Through the acquisition of Direct Solar America, we have firmly established ourselves as a leading provider of residential solar concierge services, designed to assist customers with making the best choice based on their specific needs. Throughout 2019 and into 2020 Direct Solar has continued to grow revenue and expand its service footprint which now includes coverage in 25 states. Business development and expansion is continuing as contractors continue looking for solutions that increase their revenue and bottom such as those provided to them when they partner with the Direct Solar Residential Platform," according to Greg Lambrecht, Chairman and CEO of SinglePoint.

The success and rapid achievement of business unit profitability by the Direct Solar Residential Business Unit gave us confidence to support the creation of a separate business unit for commercial solar sales. The Direct Solar Commercial Business unit, established in the second half of 2019, quickly built a robust pipeline of small to mid-sized commercial deals that have the ability to generate immediate and long term revenue representing millions of dollars of combined annual and recurring revenue potential.

"I am extremely proud of the results driven by our senior management team in 2019. As a standalone entity, the Direct Solar America Residential Business Unit ultimately ended the year profitably, which is an incredible achievement for a start up in its first few months of operation. These profits were allocated to enable initial funding and startup costs for the Commercial and Capital Solar Business Units. As SinglePoint grows we will continue to seek out additional business opportunities internally and externally in the renewable energy sector," states Greg Lambrecht CEO SinglePoint.

In addition to the annual revenue growth results and operational improvements, the Company successfully re-paid a convertible investor note, (the "CVP Note") dated October 10, 2017, during the first quarter (Q1) of 2020. The Company and management will continue to find accretive ways to work with our investing partners to strategically eliminate outstanding notes in order to improve the balance sheet as we believe it is in the best interest of our shareholders. The Company’s fully reporting status will improve our ability to access the necessary growth capital through more traditional financing sources and it should be further enhanced by its entrance into multiple emerging business markets in conjunction with delivering consistent annual revenue growth as represented in the 2019 audited financial results.
