A major component of modern agriculture is synthetic fertilizers, which have largely contributed to the huge improvements in crop yields over the last several decades. However, these products come at a cost. Nitrogenous fertilizer production accounts for approximately 2% of global energy consumption, its runoff can have significant negative impacts on soil health and the widespread adoption of these fertilization practices has done significant damage to plant microbes worldwide. 

Over every acre of farmland exists about 45 tons of nitrogen in the air, more than enough to grow any crop.  The problem is nitrogen in that form is not directly available to all plants. Intrinsyx Bio's technology collects the natural, symbiotic microbes that exist all around us and enables plants to tap into this nitrogen source directly from the air. Its microbial inoculants reduce input costs, enhance yields and help the environment.
