Helping growers achieve a more sustainable and productive agricultural system by empowering the plant microbiome.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

Every year, growers spend over $80B on 6 billion pounds of pesticides, and yet still lose 20 - 40% of crops to pests and disease. As the climate changes, these losses are expected to increase 10 - 25% for every degree of atmospheric warming. Additionally, pesticide accumulation and runoff has diminished soil health and depleted global biodiversity.

About our solution

Robigo is a biomanufacturing company leveraging gene editing and data science to develop safer and more effective crop protection products. By empowering microbes to protect crops from disease and recover lost yields, Robigo's platform technology enables the development of more reliable microbial solutions that restore soil health and boost agricultural productivity.
