Eden Research PLC, an AIM-quoted company, has announced a board change with the immediate departure of Richard Horsman as a non-executive director. Lykele van der Broek, Non-executive Chairman, expressed gratitude for Horsman's contributions and insights during a pivotal 18-month period for the company. The company is focused on sustainable biopesticides and plastic-free formulation technology for use in global crop protection, animal health, and consumer products industries.

Eden Research is the only UK-listed company focused on biopesticides for sustainable agriculture. It develops and supplies innovative biopesticide products and natural microencapsulation technologies to the global crop protection, animal health, and consumer products industries. The company's products are formulated with terpene active ingredients, based on natural plant defense metabolites. They have been primarily used on high-value fruits and vegetables, improving crop yields and marketability, with equal or better performance compared to conventional pesticides.

The company currently has three products on the market. Mevalone® is a foliar biofungicide targeting a key disease affecting grapes and other high-value fruit and vegetable crops. Cedroz™ is a bionematicide that targets free-living nematodes affecting a wide range of high-value fruit and vegetable crops globally. Eden's seed treatment product, Ecovelex, was developed to tackle crop destruction caused by birds, based on the company's plant-derived chemistry and registered in the EU, U.S., and elsewhere.

Eden's Sustaine® encapsulation technology is used to harness the biocidal efficacy of naturally occurring chemicals produced by plants (terpenes) and can also be used with both natural and synthetic compounds to enhance their performance and ease-of-use. The microcapsules are naturally-derived, plastic-free, biodegradable micro-spheres derived from yeast, providing a viable, proven, and immediately registerable solution to the microplastics problem in formulations requiring encapsulation.

The company was admitted to trading on AIM in 2012 and was awarded the London Stock Exchange Green Economy Mark in 2021, recognizing its contribution to the global green economy. Eden derives 100% of its total annual revenues from sustainable products and services.
