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.
Largest US organic farmer-owned cooperative with $1.1B revenue; 1,700 farmer-members producing pasture-raised organic dairy and eggs competing with Horizon Organic for values-driven natural food shoppers.
Organic Valley is the largest US organic farmer-owned cooperative — producing organic milk, butter, cheese, eggs, meat, and produce sourced exclusively from member farms across 32 states that meet the cooperative's rigorous animal welfare, pasture-raised, and non-GMO standards. Founded in 1988 in La Farge, Wisconsin by seven farmers, Organic Valley is owned by approximately 1,700 farmer-members who share in cooperative profits, generating approximately $1.1 billion in annual revenue as a private cooperative.
