Problem
Modern agriculture faces challenges in optimizing crop yields while minimizing the environmental impact of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Traditional biological treatments often focus on single-microbe solutions, limiting their overall effectiveness in promoting plant health and resilience. Furthermore, the disposal of agricultural waste streams, such as manure and vegetable byproducts, presents logistical and environmental concerns for farmers.
Solution
