About PONDS Research Group
History
Founded by Don Hill, Pat Neuman, and Kim Callis, PONDS Research Group was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to address the growing need for sustainable, cost-effective agricultural solutions. With expertise spanning military strategy, entrepreneurship, and agriscience, the team developed BioWave1, a proprietary soluble liquid technology designed to restore soil health, enhance livestock vitality, and reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers.
Resources
PONDS Research Group operates through a network of partnerships with universities, agricultural research institutions, and private enterprises. These collaborations enable rigorous field testing, real-world application, and continuous innovation. Additionally, financial resources from donors, grants, and impact investors drive expansion into high-need regions like Africa, where sustainable food security solutions are critical.
Structure
As a nonprofit organization, PONDS Research Group prioritizes mission over profit, ensuring that funding directly supports research, development, and global implementation of BioWave1. The organization functions through a decentralized model, leveraging academic partnerships, farmer cooperatives, and industry stakeholders to maximize outreach and adoption.
Power
The real power of PONDS Research Group lies in its ability to disrupt conventional agriculture through science-backed innovation. By replacing expensive, inefficient synthetic fertilizers with a natural, scalable alternative, BioWave1 empowers farmers, ranchers, and communities to take control of their agricultural future—increasing yields, reducing costs, and regenerating ecosystems for plants and livestock.
Vision
PONDS Research Group envisions a world where food security is no longer a challenge—where farmers can grow more with less, livestock thrive without antibiotics, and the global nitrogen cycle is restored. By transitioning millions of farmers to regenerative agriculture, the organization aims to establish BioWave1 as a cornerstone of sustainable farming worldwide.
Metrics
BioWave1 is designed to be a financially viable alternative to traditional fertilizers and livestock supplements. Field trials indicate:
✅ 50% reduction in fertilizer costs
✅ 30% increase in crop yields
✅ 50% lower livestock water amendment costs
✅ Doubled productive lifespan of laying hens
✅ Elimination of antibiotic dependence
