FA Bio is making living fungal solutions that protect crops naturally. Instead of chemical pesticides that harm soils, biodiversity, and human health, we use naturally occurring fungi from soils to defend crops from pests and improve growth.
About
At the heart of our innovation is SporSenZ®, a patented device that acts like an artificial root. It captures beneficial fungi directly from farmland soils, where they are active and adapted to crops. The fungi we discover are far more effective than those found using traditional lab methods. From our unique library of more than 4,500 fungal strains we are building a pipeline of bioinsecticides, biofungicides, and biostimulants. Several candidates have shown yield gains of 20–25% and superior disease control in field trials compared with chemical programmes.
