We protect biofertilizers from processing stressors, enabling sustainable, bountiful food production.

Microbes in the soil are nature’s fertilizer, helping plants thrive. Current farming practices kill these microbes, and efforts to develop microbial fertilizers to replenish the soil fail because those microbes have been impossible to manufacture, until now. Pharmor coatings are inexpensive, easy-to-apply protective shells that enable the production and transport of these essential microbes, enabling food security and sustainable agriculture.
