Carbon collective: microbial formulations for soil health and carbon sequestration

Overview

Carbon Collective by New Wave Biotech presents a revolutionary approach to gardening and farming through microbial formulations that enhance plant health while sequestering carbon in the soil. These formulations, which include mycorrhiza fungi and beneficial microbes, can be applied to turf, perennials, and annuals, making carbon banking accessible to every home gardener. By improving plant-mycorrhiza symbiosis by approximately 50%, these formulations facilitate nutrient uptake and increase resilience to environmental stresses, contributing to a sustainable future.
