The Chemistry for Agriculture team is an interdisciplinary team, working at the intersection of chemical engineering and technology, biotechnology, materials engineering and chemical analytics. The team originates from the 'fertilizer school' of Prof. Henryk Górecki. It is currently conducting research work on: innovative agrochemicals and the use of renewable raw materials (including waste biomass), controlled-release fertilizers, plant growth biostimulants, biofungicides, and feed additives. Research includes valorization of waste biomass for both feed and fertilizer purposes.

Most of the research is performed in full research and development cycles: from basic research, through the stage of model and pilot studies to industrial implementations. In terms of planning and implementation of scientific tasks, the Team closely cooperates with industry (5 cooperation agreements and 5 implementations in the last 5 years). Currently, the Team is carrying out 2 national research projects, funded by NCN and NCBiR, and 2 international projects, funded by NCBiR and the European Commission.

The research being conducted is in line with the goals of UN Resolution A/RES/70/1 of 2015, covering 17 areas of action. They are related to the creation of a food production system through the implementation of safe agrochemicals that increase agricultural productivity, including nutrient assimilation. This issue is also included in the European Union's strategy (COM/2018/610 of 2019) - the European Green Deal. The new technologies meet the requirements of sustainability, ensure health and environmental safety. Recipients are large and medium-sized companies involved in the production of agrochemicals.
