Joyn Bio engineers microbes that colonize cereal crop roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen, aiming to eliminate synthetic nitrogen fertilizer dependency in corn and wheat.
Joyn Bio is an agricultural biotechnology company founded in 2017 as a joint venture between Ginkgo Bioworks and Bayer to engineer nitrogen-fixing microbes for cereal crops. The company uses synthetic biology tools from Ginkgo's platform to design and optimize bacteria that establish stable associations with corn, wheat, and other grass crops, fixing atmospheric nitrogen in a way that legumes achieve naturally but grasses do not. Eliminating or dramatically reducing synthetic nitrogen fertilizer in cereal crops would represent one of the most significant advances in sustainable agriculture given that nitrogen fertilizer production consumes roughly 1% of global energy and contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions through both manufacturing and field application. Joyn Bio is conducting field trials to demonstrate nitrogen fixation performance in cereal crops at commercially relevant scales. The company leverages Bayer's global agricultural distribution and Ginkgo's synthetic biology platform to pursue an ambitious program that, if successful, could reshape the economics and environmental footprint of global grain production.
Bayer (ETR: BAYN)-owned digital agriculture platform managing 250M+ subscribed acres in 23 countries; precision farming AI saving farmers 15% on inputs competing with John Deere Operations Center for the farm data platform relationship.
Climate FieldView is a digital agriculture and precision farming platform — owned by Bayer AG (ETR: BAYN) as a subsidiary of The Climate Corporation (which Bayer acquired through its $63 billion Monsanto acquisition in 2018) — providing row crop farmers across 23 countries with an integrated platform for collecting field data from farming equipment, storing soil sampling and agronomic history, analyzing yield patterns across fields, and providing variable-rate seeding and fertilization recommendations powered by machine learning models trained on weather data, soil health, and historical yield outcomes. Climate FieldView manages 250+ million subscribed acres globally, helping farmers save approximately 15% on input costs through precision agronomic decision support in the $24.42 billion global agritech market.
