Building the water-holding capacity of agricultural soils

Our goal is to create an environmentally sustainable solution to alleviate global agricultural drought and help reverse the effects of climate change, through durable carbon drawdown.  

The answer to carbon redirection lies in the very ground we walk upon - soil.

CroBio’s innovative breakthrough lies in significantly boosting the soil's water retention capabilities, especially critical in arid conditions. By modifying root-associated bacteria to consume root exudates and produce cellulose, we have enhanced the soil's moisture-holding capacity. This cellulose production strengthens the soil structure and dramatically improves plant drought resistance.

This advancement represents a major step in sustainable agriculture, ensuring crop health and productivity in challenging environments.
