About Sound Agriculture

Sound Agriculture is an AgriTech company founded in 2013, based in Emeryville, California, with additional operations in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Argentina.

The company focuses on providing bio-inspired, nature-based solutions to enhance soil health and crop productivity while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Its mission is to create a more resilient agricultural system that leverages the natural relationship between plants and their environment. The company operates two main business lines: Nutrient Efficiency and On-Demand Breeding. Its flagship product, SOURCETM, is a soil activator designed to improve nutrient uptake in corn and soybeans by enhancing the soil microbiome. Another product, BLUEPRINTTM, utilizes arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to extend root systems for better access to nutrients and water. Additionally, the On-Demand Breeding Platform accelerates plant trait development using epigenetics, promoting healthier and more sustainable food production. Sound Agriculture serves crop producers and farmers, aiming to address challenges like climate change and resource scarcity.
