At 1000 Gretas, we are thrilled to announce our newest 1K grantee, Elliot Strand, the founder of PAGE Technologies. Elliot and his team are pioneering groundbreaking advancements in agricultural sustainability through innovative sensor technology that aims to transform how we monitor and manage environmental resources.
About PAGE Technologies
Driven by a shared commitment to revolutionizing agriculture and combat environmental degradation, PAGE Technologies was founded through collaborative research efforts at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of California Berkeley. The company’s mission is to create low-cost, efficient sensor systems that empower farmers and land managers to adopt more sustainable agricultural practices while maintaining productivity and profitability.
Cutting-Edge Technology for a Sustainable Future
At the heart of PAGE Technologies’ innovation lies a novel approach to sensor production. Unlike traditional high-temperature silicon manufacturing, PAGE Technologies employs particle-polymer inks to print electronically functional materials on plastic sheets through a reel-to-reel process—similar to newspaper printing. This cost-effective method allows for the creation of easily manufacturable, replaceable sensor strips, making real-time monitoring of chemical inputs and pollutants more accessible than ever before.
The Impact: Regenerating Agriculture and Protecting Ecosystems
By embracing distributed environmental sensing, PAGE Technologies aims to help farmers optimize fertilizer use, increase crop yields, and reduce synthetic fertilizer dependency. Their technology aligns with the 4Rs of nutrient management—applying the right type, at the right rate, in the right place, at the right time—ensuring maximum efficiency while preventing nutrient runoff that contributes to pollution and harmful algal blooms. The ultimate vision of PAGE Technologies is a world where agriculture regenerates natural resources rather than depleting them, proving that sustainability and profitability can indeed go hand in hand.
Elliot Strand’s Journey: Inspired by Environmental Advocacy

Growing up in Minnesota, Elliot Strand was deeply influenced by his father’s passion for environmental sustainability. His father, raised on a farm outside of Fargo, North Dakota, later became an environmental lawyer dedicated to protecting natural ecosystems. This legacy of environmental stewardship has shaped Elliot’s vision for PAGE Technologies, where he envisions a future where farmers, land managers, and industries no longer have to choose between profitability and sustainability.
