Fungit Biosolutions

Fungit Biosolutions develops microorganism-based biological solutions aimed at extending the shelf life of produce and providing crop protection for the agricultural industry. The company utilizes a proprietary biocontrol strategy that involves screening and isolating unique fungal species from plants that have naturally adapted to harsh environmental stressors, such as extreme heat and drought. By leveraging these microbial biobanks, Fungit creates sustainable, effective alternatives to traditional chemical fertilizers and pesticides for both pre-harvest and post-harvest applications.

This technology addresses significant global food security challenges, specifically the substantial volume of agricultural produce lost to spoilage during post-harvest handling. By applying their biocontrol agents, Fungit aims to inhibit fungal diseases in crops and improve overall yields, providing growers with a viable solution that aligns with increasing regulatory pressure to reduce chemical residue levels. The company is currently based in Israel and has been recognized for its work through participation in programs like the 2024 EITFood Accelerator Network.
