Algae may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of food additives.

Balusson is the founder of Olmix, a global biotechnology company with revenue over $180 million that transforms algae and other marine resources into safe, sustainable food additives for plants and animals. "Shredded, crushed, and mixed with clay, I quickly realized that the algae had a strong effect on the pigs' digestion," he says.

Both divisions accomplish this mission in unique ways. The plant-care division sells natural products that improve soil structure and composition while enhancing the crops' natural resistance to environmental factors, which reduces the need for artificial fertilizers.
