Our soil is tired. Decades of ag chemicals have left it depleted of nutrients, and reliant on chemicals in order to keep producing.
We believe there is a better path forward. At IMIO, we’re combining science and nature to create products that make farms more profitable and productive by improving soil health.
Some argue that healthy soil won’t happen without more government subsidies. While subsidies are important, we think what farmers really need are products that don’t force them to choose between profit and sustainability.
At IMIO, that’s exactly what we’re creating.
Why would microbes help my plants?
Microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and more) have lived and evolved with plants for thousands of years. Many microbes and plants live in symbiosis, both benefiting from their relationship with the other.
Why are you trying to replace chemical inputs?
Ag Chemicals cause $157B in human health and environmental damage each year in the US alone. That’s the equivalent of Hurricane Sandy happening 4.5 times every year.
The costs of using these chemicals is only increasing. They deplete our best soils, robbing them of nutrients and beneficial microbes, so you need more and more chemical inputs each year. Right now it’s estimated the the US Corn Belt is losing $2.5B/year.
The human cost motivates us even more than these huge numbers. Exposure to Ag Chemicals is linked to higher rates of cancer, respiratory disease, miscarriages and impotency. These harms are felt most by communities of color, who also suffer the most from the current and escalating damage of climate change.
What species of plants do your products work on?
We’ve validated Root and Re-Gen on a wide variety of crops and have customers using them on various grains, vegetables, vineyards, and hops. To name a few specific crops, customers use Re-Gen on corn, wheat, rye straw, hops, and cannabis crop residuals. Root has been used on an even wider variety of plants including but not limited to cannabis, tomatoes, grape vines, lavender, begonias, and grasses. If you grow something and are interested in our products, please feel free to reach out.
