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.
Robotics & AI for Large-Scale Crop Operations
AgTech platform combining robotics, AI, and data for large-scale crop operations. Based in Brazil and US. Raised $60M+. Serves sugarcane, soy, and corn at industrial scale.
Solinftec is a Brazilian agricultural technology company with operations in the United States that has raised over $60 million to build a comprehensive AI and robotics platform for large-scale row crop and sugarcane operations. Founded in Araçatuba, Brazil, the company grew out of the demanding technological requirements of Brazil's industrial sugarcane sector, one of the world's most data-intensive agricultural industries.\n\nThe Solinftec platform integrates autonomous robots — including its Alice agricultural robot — with machine data analytics, fleet management, and crop intelligence tools to help large agribusinesses optimize every phase of field operations. The company's technology connects data from thousands of pieces of farm equipment to a central intelligence layer that enables real-time decision making and operational efficiency improvements.\n\nSolinftec has expanded beyond sugarcane into soy, corn, and cotton operations in both Brazil and North America, leveraging its AI models trained on massive datasets from Brazilian industrial agriculture. The company's focus on machine connectivity and autonomous systems positions it at the frontier of agricultural robotics, and its US operations are growing as large American farm operators seek similar levels of data-driven efficiency.
