We create smart and biocompatible agricultural technologies to maximize crop yields while protecting the environment.
We Optimize Plant Growth by Creating the World's Most Efficient Soil and Fertilizer Technologies
Our Mission
Our mission is to solve the global food security crisis that threatens millions across the globe.
We do this by creating smart technologies that transform soils and fertilizers into the most efficient and eco-friendly agricultural solutions.
By maximizing yields while conserving soil and protecting the environment, our technologies will bring the world closer to meeting the booming demand for food.
Smart + Biocompatible = Sustainable
Our Smart Technologies Regulate Key Environmental Factors
Smart Fertilizer Technology
Conventional fertilizers are unsustainable. They release quickly into the soil, without regard to specific plant needs at specific times. Plants either get too much fertilizer or they don’t get enough. Remaining fertilizers thus pollute the environment by getting washed away in groundwater.
That’s why we’ve created a unique biocompatible fertilizer coating technology. It automatically regulates soil pH, allowing fertilizers to become optimally available to plants.
What’s more, they control nutrient release in response to multiple environmental factors like pH, moisture, or temperature. This allows plants to get the right amount of nutrients at the right time, with no fertilizer wasted.
The result of our coating technology’s dual functions are higher yields, together with soil conservation and environmental protection
Smart Soil Technology
Our smart soil technology allows soils to regulate key environmental factors like pH, moisture, and soil electrical conductivity.
The result is the most productive soil in the world, generating high yields of superior quality.
At the same time, our technology prevents soil degradation and environmental pollution, providing soils with increased longevity while keeping the environment free of pollutants.
Best of all, our technology is customizable to fit the requirements of each crop.
Maximize Yields.
Protect the Environment.
Our technologies were developed through years of research by soil specialists and physicists at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Our close ties to leading agricultural research institutes and companies in Berlin have brought together the world’s leading soil experts, chemists, and nanotech specialists.
Higher & Healthier Yields
Regulating environmental factors and controlling nutrient release means that our technologies allow for significantly higher yields with superior quality.
Environmental Protection
Our biocompatible technologies protect the environment by preventing fertilizer waste, as well as regulating environmental factors to prevent premature soil degradation.
Versatility
Whether for soils or fertilizers, our technologies are versatile and can be customized to meet client-driven specifications or crop-specific needs.
The best of both worlds
We combine our soil and fertilizer technologies for an all-in-one solution designed for indoor farming and roof garden applications. Whether green roofs for residential buildings or indoor farms under controlled conditions, our combined technologies ensure optimal growth, higher yields, and less labor.
Complete green roof solution
We combine our smart fertilizers and smart soil in our proprietary racks for a complete green roof solution.
Whether residential buildings, supermarkets, or restaurants, our complete growing racks ensure optimal growth of salads and herbs. Once applied, a minimal amount of water is sufficient to germinate seeds and grow plants.
Better yet, our smart fertilizers slowly release nutrients into the soil throughout the growth cycle, canceling the need for additional fertilizers.
In addition to high and healthy yields, our green roof racks make the idea of roof-to-table a reality while minimizing expenses and labor.
Complete indoor farming solution
We also offer a complete soil-fertilizer solution for indoor farming. Our indoor farming trays are designed for indoor vertical farms and equipped with our proprietary smart soil and smart fertilizers.
Our indoor farming product is the perfect solution for indoor vertical farms intent on maximizing yields while ensuring the best yield-to-quality ratio. Minimal irrigation needs, combined with slow-release fertilizers lasting throughout the entire growth cycle (and potentially more, depending on crop type) as well as consistently balanced pH levels, ensures the maximal use of indoor farm space and high yield margins.
Partnerships
We collaborate with leading research institutes and agtech companies to test and iterate our technologies as well as bring new products to market.
Team
We’re led by an experienced team with decades of experience in the startup arena, driven to create a sustainable future by bringing our technologies to the world.
