What's the Problem?

Food security is at risk, and this is one of the key challenges that humanity will face in the following decades. According to FAO, by 2050, an additional 60% of food will be required to feed the global population, and approximately 90% of global soil could be degraded. Meeting production targets while reducing agriculture's carbon footprint is a complex problem that will require not one, but multiple solutions, including GMOs, biologicals, and better crop management practices.

How are they Solving it?

Puna Bio's goal is to break down the bioinoculant barrier. The key to its technology is the use of extremophilic microorganisms, isolated from the highest saline desert on the planet, which enable the growth of plants in extreme conditions. Puna Bio inoculants work better than any other in fertile soils, make saline soils productive and have the advantage of being suitable for a wide spectrum of crops. By taking advantage of the full potential of the extremophiles, production on degraded soils will cease to be a utopia.
