Loam Bio

Loam Bio is an Australian biotechnology company founded by farmers, focused on developing microbial seed treatments to enhance carbon sequestration in broadacre agriculture.

Its flagship product, CarbonBuilderTM, is a fungal seed treatment that boosts a plant's ability to capture and store carbon in the soil. This innovative product is applied at sowing and works through a process called mycosequestration, improving soil structure, nutrient retention, and crop yields without requiring changes to existing farming practices. In addition to CarbonBuilderTM, Loam Bio offers the SecondCropTM program, which allows farmers to monetize the carbon stored through their practices. This program verifies carbon removals under Gold Standard requirements, enabling growers to access carbon markets with reduced risk. Loam Bio targets broadacre crop farmers, particularly soybean and corn farmers in the U.S. and grain farmers in Australia, collaborating closely with farming families and agricultural retailers to integrate its solutions into current farming systems. The company operates in multiple countries, including the U.S., Canada, and Brazil, and is committed to addressing climate change through sustainable agricultural practices.
