Puna Bio: Breaking the Wall of Soil Degradation
Puna Bio is a biotech company that uses extremophiles – microorganisms sourced from La Puna, the highest and driest desert on Earth – to develop biological inputs for agriculture that increase yields, reduce carbon emissions, and restore degraded soil. Puna has developed the first extremophile bioinoculant in the world. Its seed treatment can consistently improve yields by 10-15% in fertile soils and grow crops in extreme environments.
