Sustainable Farming

Location: Charlestown, MA

This innovative client in Boston, Massachusetts is an agricultural technology company that works with plant microbes, aiming to improve yields of cotton, wheat, corn, soybeans, and rice. The company also offers crop storage and other logistics programs for farmers. Their focus is on improving grower profitability, environmental sustainability, and consumer health using natural microbiology and digital technologies. A critical aspect of their mission is providing healthy, traceable food to consumers. Their microbial technology allows for food and fiber production that requires less water, synthetic fertilizer, and chemistry, paving the way for nutrient-dense, specialty products.
