METTA Green Deep Tech designs biology-first grow systems that turn ordinary fields into high-yield, nutrient-dense production sites while increasing carbon storage in living soils. The company runs structured trials with deep mineral nutrition and model-guided decisions, achieving up to 120 t CO₂ sequestration per hectare annually in tree systems. Its technology also extends to space-ready, closed-loop food production for extreme environments.

Problem
Conventional agriculture relies on NPK fertilizers that deplete soil biology, resulting in shallow root systems, reduced nutrient density, and lower resilience to environmental stress. This approach also misses opportunities to leverage farmland for significant carbon sequestration, leaving a major climate mitigation lever underutilized.
Solution
METTA Green Deep Tech designs grow systems that transform ordinary fields into high-yield, nutrient-dense production sites while storing more carbon in living soils. The company applies deep mineral nutrition and a roots-and-fungi-first approach to build strong underground networks that efficiently move water, nutrients, and carbon. All trials are structured experiments with defined doses, timings, and controlled environments, with results compared across plots and seasons to ensure reproducibility. Early results show 4x larger root systems in fast-growing trees and 20-120% higher yields in crops and fungi pilots. The company also extends its biology-first platform into closed-loop food production for extreme environments on Earth and in space, including microgravity-adapted crops using genomic pathway discovery and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.
Target Audience
Primary customers include reforestation project developers, sustainable agriculture producers, and space-agriculture research programs seeking high-yield, nutrient-dense production with measurable carbon sequestration.
