Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialize in biopesticide and biological product registration?
Yes. We specialize in regulatory strategy for biologicals, including biopesticides, biostimulants, microbial solutions, and regenerative agricultural technologies that promote soil health while maintaining ROI.
How early should we engage regulatory consulting support?
The earlier, the better.
Engaging regulatory strategy during product development, before data studies are finalized, can significantly reduce future delays, unnecessary testing costs, and reclassification risks. We provide expert early engagement strategies in addition to ongoing Agency management throughout the lifetime of your submission, even advising on post-market Freedom To Operate issues.
Do you work with international companies entering the U.S. or Canadian markets?
Yes. We frequently assist international agricultural companies entering North American regulatory systems. We maintain a wide network of professional contacts in both ecosystems, delivering personalized and collaborative engagements that can often shorten approval times with today's Deep Compliance Era by delivering precise full submissions.
We provide guidance on data compatibility, regulatory classification, submission sequencing, and cross-border harmonization.
How secure are your tools and AI workflows? Can I trust it?
We protect client information with a security-first workflow, including least-access handling, controlled sharing, and clear separation of internal notes from client-facing deliverables. Anything produced with AI is treated as draft-only until it is verified, reviewed, and finalized for accuracy and confidentiality. A "human in the loop" is involved in every product and workflow and all analysis is conducted
Janus Ag deploys tools that are SOC-2 compliant. SOC 2 compliance is a third-party audit standard that evaluates whether an organization’s controls protect customer data across security and related trust areas (such as availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy). In practice, it means documented policies and technical safeguards are tested by an independent auditor and monitored over time to reduce the risk of data breaches, improper access, and operational failures.
Can you advise on AI tools and workflows for my company?
Absolutely! Janus Ag helps you choose the right AI tools for each job and turn them into repeatable workflows that fit regulated work, not generic “AI output.” We advise on where AI can safely accelerate research, drafting, and knowledge management, then design practical, auditable processes with clear inputs, validation steps, and governance so your team gets speed without sacrificing rigor or defensibility. If you are looking for in-house new tools to use, Janus Ag can help you design and implement those to help save you time and money.
What is the Deep Compliance Era?
The Deep Compliance Era is Janus Ag’s view that compliance is shifting from “check the box” submissions to continuous, data-rich, machine-assisted proof that decisions are traceable, defensible, and aligned with rapidly evolving regulatory expectations. In this era, competitive advantage comes from building workflows where evidence, assumptions, and updates are continuously captured, validated, and audit-ready, not reconstructed at the end. This is "enough precision to make the decision" at work.
I'm interested in industrial hemp as a commodity crop and pivoting away from CBD uses. Can you help?
Oh my, yes. Janus Ag Solutions supports the industrial hemp community by helping growers, processors, and product developers navigate regulation and risk while improving real-world execution. We provide regulatory strategy (EPA/FIFRA and state overlays where relevant), dossier and data management, and science-forward toxicology and risk interpretation to de-risk product claims, stewardship, and market access. We also translate field realities into agency-ready documentation and practical compliance workflows, so innovation can scale without getting stalled by uncertainty or rework.
Janus Ag is working long-term to help develop the "4th leg" of the industrial hemp commodity platform in the US (the first three being fiber, grain, and CBD). The “4th leg of the stool” for Janus Ag is economics: regenerative and compliant systems only scale when they produce reliable farm-level returns and bankable value chains, not just environmental benefits. We see waste valorization as a key lever in that economics, converting low-value byproducts into compliant, marketable inputs (soil amendments, biostimulants, feedstocks, energy, or specialty materials) through rigorous characterization, risk screening, and regulatory pathway design so the “waste” becomes a defensible product rather than a liability. We feel this will supercharge the domestic green building market in addition to the natural fiber textile market.
I'm a Maryland farmer seeking options for my long-term financial stability. Can you help?
Yes, while we are not agronomists, we can help local Maryland farmers navigate the maze of federal, state, and regional grants and help you establish regenerative agriculture systems for your piece of land, through expert localized data analysis and our suite of models and calculators that help you understand the financial, mental, and environmental aspects of restoring soil health. We are currently working on an intelligence platform (JanusWatch) to act as a personalized, "concierge" intelligence service for farmers, registrants, and everyone in between.
How do we get started?
We begin with a NO COST 45-minute confidential strategy discussion to understand your product, data status, target markets, and commercial goals.
From there, we outline the regulatory pathways and outcomes, craft a strategy to get you there, and a bespoke scope of engagement designed to move your product forward efficiently and strategically.
