Trace Genomics sequence the DNA of agricultural soils to enable more informed decisions, helping producers grow more food that is healthier for consumers, better for the environment while also reducing waste.

By analysing soils’ biological data, such as the bacteria and fungi that cause disease and cycle nutrients, alongside its chemical characteristics, Trace Genomics enables growers and producers to better manage disease, seed selection and crop protection. 

Their work is developing a world-leading database of soil microbes providing insights into more than 70 crops and 225 disease causing pathogens. 

Since 2020, we have supported Trace Genomics to improve this understanding, restore the planet’s soils and improve the profitability and resilience of farms, and in doing so sustainably increase yields of more nutritious foods.
