Brekland Incorporated

Brekland Incorporated is an agricultural technology company based in Brooklyn, New York, that develops biodegradable, spray-on foam coatings designed to protect crops from frost damage. The technology functions by applying a closed-cell foam layer to crops using a specialized spray system that connects to standard agricultural equipment. This foam provides insulation for plant buds, acting as a thermal barrier that delays freezing temperatures and maintains protection for up to 72 hours under specific conditions. The foam is designed to be non-toxic and environmentally friendly, naturally biodegrading or washing away with rain after the frost event passes. In addition to frost protection, the company is researching the use of its foam technology as a carrier system to deliver other agricultural chemistries to crops.

This innovation addresses significant economic and operational challenges faced by farmers due to unexpected frost, which can destroy seasonal yields. By providing a scalable, field-ready solution that can be applied within 24 hours of a predicted frost, Brekland aims to provide a reliable tool for climate resilience in agriculture. The company's work has been recognized within the agritech industry, most notably through winning the $1 million grand prize at the 2025 Grow-NY food and agriculture competition. This validation, along with ongoing pilot trials and partnerships, underscores the practical application of their technology in improving farming sustainability and harvest security.
