Groundwork BioAg
Climate One-Liner
Description
Big Picture
Intensified agricultural production methods and chemical applications have led to the degradation and depletion of soil microbiota and account for a significant fraction of global GHG emissions. The global food system is facing multiple challenges around the need to increase crop yields while simultaneously reducing chemical inputs, enhancing soil health, and sequestering carbon.
Climate Impact
Groundwork BioAg produces mycorrhizal inoculants for the global commercial agriculture market. Based on naturally robust strains of mycorrhizal fungi, their inoculants offer broad benefits for mainstream and regenerative agriculture. By boosting crop yields and soil fertility, improving plant nutrient uptake and resistance to stress, and reducing fertilizer requirements, Groundwork BioAg’s mycorrhizal inoculants regenerate agricultural soil while permanently sequestering carbon.
