Birth of Retentis

Through the combination of scientific principles with passion and hard work, Dr. Gibson Nyanhongo and his team embarked on an incredible journey with their invention to develop lignin-based hydrogel that have the potential to revolutionize the future of agriculture. After years of extreme effort and dedication, he has made a break through in his laboratory at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Boku) and was ready to turn his idea into a product known today as Retentis.
