Environmental Technologies Inc, a New York-based developer of advanced
livestock waste treatment technology and premium sustainable beef, announced on
Dec. 20 that Chris Cook will join Bion’s Advisory Group, where he will
provide his expertise on agronomy, crop production, and fertilizers.
Cook has nearly 30 years of experience in production agronomy. The last decade
was spent in leadership roles with Syngenta AG, where he focused on business
strategy, sales growth, stakeholder relations, and business development. He currently
serves as Head of Business Development for Syngenta Seeds, North America,
responsible for identifying and developing market opportunities for the North
American seeds business and leading the development of the Camelina seeds
business and Enogen feed corn commercial sales strategy.
“Chris Cook is exactly the kind of forward thinker Bion needs to align with as we commercialize our opportunity to bring verified sustainability to the beef and livestock industries,” said Bion CEO Bill O’Neill. “His years of experience in state-of-the-art production agronomy will be invaluable as we build out our value chain to deliver both sustainable practices to an industry that needs them and sustainable products to a consumer that demands them.”
