Designer molecules to adapt crops to adversity.

Designer molecules to adapt crops to adversity.

Unlock the potential of biomolecules for developing new families of biological products capable of solving urgent agricultural problems.

What we do

The climate and environmental crisis is generating serious damage in agriculture and crop yields.

To face this adverse context, we develop designer biomolecules that modulate plant physiology when applied externally in small quantities, improving the crop capability to overcome these challenges. We design our products inspired by natural molecules and using proprietary engineering strategies.

The first problem we are addressing is drought. About 20% of crops are lost annually due to drought, which has caused global economic losses of approximately USD 124 billion, in the last 20 years, according to the UN.

For this reason, our first development is a new biological product based on biomolecules that increase drought tolerance in crops. This product is in the R&D stage and we are carrying out greenhouse and field trials, with promising results.
