• The global high-throughput screening market size reached US$ 23.2 Billion in 2022.
• HTS offers numerous advantages, such as sample reduction, rapid automation, and the ability to detect single molecules and low-background signals.
• These investments, coupled with the increasing use of automation in HTS and rapid global data processing, are propelling market expansion.
• What is the structure of the global high-throughput screening market and who are the key players?

• Three drill permits granted to American Potash on key Utah State mineral leases on their Green River Potash and Lithium Project to test for potash, lithium and other brine salts
  VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Potash Corp. (CSE:KCL)(OTCQX:APCOF) ("American Potash" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received permits from the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining (UDOGM) to drill exploratory wells on three of its eleven 100% owned potash and lithium state mineral leases which form part of its Green River Potash and Lithium Project, located within the Paradox Basin, Utah.
• That well intersected 24.3% gamma-log equivalent KCL over 5.9 meters, in addition to numerous brine horizons which were not analyzed for lithium, bromine and boron at the time.
• (2) Anson’s Exploration Target is estimated for brines from the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation units which also extend throughout American Potash’s project area immediately south of the Anson project area.
• The Leadville and Paradox Formation brines will be tested in the Company's initial drill program.

• Feeding a growing world population has been a serious concern for decades, but today there are new causes for alarm.
• Floods, heat waves and other weather extremes are making agriculture increasingly precarious, especially in the Global South.
• Those efforts centered on India and other Asian countries; today, advocates focus on sub-Saharan Africa, where the original Green Revolution regime never took hold.

A triumphal narrative

• Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 bestseller, “The Population Bomb,” famously predicted that nothing could stop “hundreds of millions” from starving in the 1970s.
• Borlaug received the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize and is still widely credited with “saving a billion lives.” Indian agricultural scientist M.S.
• Swaminathan, who worked with Borlaug to promote the Green Revolution, received the inaugural World Food Prize in 1987.

Debunking the legend

• The standard legend of India’s Green Revolution centers on two propositions.
• India was importing wheat in the 1960s because of policy decisions, not overpopulation.
• After the nation achieved independence in 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru prioritized developing heavy industry.
• U.S. advisers encouraged this strategy and offered to provide India with surplus grain, which India accepted as cheap food for urban workers.
• They switched millions of acres from rice to jute production, and by the mid-1960s India was exporting agricultural products.

The toll of ‘green’ pollution

• Globally, only 17% of what is applied is taken up by plants and ultimately consumed as food.
• Most of the rest washes into waterways, where it creates algae blooms and dead zones that smother aquatic life.
• In my view, African countries where the Green Revolution has not made inroads should consider themselves lucky.
• In my view, there are many ways to pursue less input-intensive agriculture that will be more sustainable in a world with an increasingly erratic climate.
