ANT Systems Showcases Award-Winning Nanotechnology Solutions Addressing Global Water Scarcity at Gulfood
Dubai, UAE – Gulfood 2026 — ANT Systems, an agricultural nanotechnology company focused on water efficiency, climate resilience, and sustainable land use, is showcasing its award-winning product portfolio at Gulfood, one of the world’s most influential global food and agriculture exhibitions.
At the center of ANT Systems’ portfolio is Nanotern™, a biodegradable, microplastic-free super absorbent polymer developed to improve water availability in the soil–plant system and address one of the most pressing global challenges: water scarcity. Applied at the root zone, Nanotern™ can store up to 1,800 times its own weight in water and release it back to plants in a controlled manner over 30–40 days, helping reduce irrigation frequency while supporting stable plant growth under drought and variable climate conditions.
Nanotern™ is available in multiple variants—Nanotern™ Agriculture, Nanotern™ Bio+, and Nanotern™ Landscape—designed to meet the specific needs of open-field agriculture, biologically sensitive applications, and urban or landscape environments. The technology has been validated through real-world field applications across diverse soil types, including saline soils, and offers a scalable, environmentally responsible alternative to petroleum-based super absorbent polymers.
In addition to Nanotern™, ANT Systems is presenting ANTIMIC, a nanotechnology-based disinfectant solution for agricultural and controlled-environment use, and INSEASE, a nano-enabled slow-release pesticide film developed for greenhouse applications to help reduce overall pesticide consumption.
ANT Systems’ innovations have received multiple industry recognitions, including the Elginkan Foundation 2025 Technology Award and the Growtech “Most Innovative Product” Award, reflecting the company’s strong scientific foundation and practical impact.
At Gulfood, ANT Systems is hosting live demonstrations, sharing real-life application examples, and engaging with producers, distributors, and institutional stakeholders to discuss market insights, trade terms, and distribution opportunities, particularly across water-stressed regions. Through its participation, ANT Systems highlights the growing role of science-driven technologies in shaping more resilient, water-efficient food and agricultural systems worldwide.
