The collaboration will leverage AgBiome’s proprietary GENESIS platform that comprises the world’s largest, most diverse, fully-sequenced collection of microbes coupled with innovative product discovery technology.

“It’s exciting to collaborate with a global agriculture powerhouse like Mosaic,” says Tracy Raines, Chief Innovation Officer at AgBiome. “Our work together, focused on soil health, demonstrates the grower’s demand for natural, biological solutions to enhance soil nutrition – leading to better crop quality and yield.”

AgBiome and Mosaic support the development of innovative agricultural technologies that help growers increase nutrient use efficiency and ultimately minimize fertilizer loss to the environment. Both companies are passionate about offering sustainable solutions to growers that meet the needs of today without sacrificing food production for the future.

“Our collaboration with AgBiome is part of a larger, multi-partner effort at Mosaic to expand the company’s soil health offerings,” says Kim Nicholson, vice president — Ag Technology and Innovation at The Mosaic Company. “Now more than ever, growers are interested in engaging with companies that recognize the need for soil conservation strategies.
