Revive your farmland & maximize your yield with biology
Restore 1 million acres of farmland using biology by 2032 in Southeast Asia
1 million acres fully grown with the use of biological inputs. Soils in farmlands are thriving with life, and there's very little pest & disease pressure due.
Significantly reduce chemical fertilizer, herbicide & pesticide use
Farmers and farmland should not be exposed to pesticides. It is bad for the land, and it is very bad for the health of farmers. We want the plants to be healthy enough to be able to produce food without attracting pest & disease.
Use regenerative agriculture to make farming profitable for at least 1 million farmers in Southeast Asia
1 million farmers are using regenerative agriculture to make their income. This means, they are continuously regenerating their land and they are getting out a lot more than they are putting in. The output of the system should be 10 times more than the inputs.
Put megatons of carbon back into the soil through soil biology
Soil biology can become the leading sink of carbon in the world. There is a lot of land that has lost its carbon reserves through tillage, high use of chemicals, and erosion. We can put this carbon back into the soil!
Ideally, we put in gigatons of carbon back into farmlands.
Improve farmlands to be more resilient to climate change: floods, droughts, heat. Using principles of nature to improve farmland resilience.
A lot of issues are coming as the climate changes. Biology is the best at making farmlands more resilient to upcoming issues. The goal is to maximize the diversity of biology underneath our crops.
30%+ higher profits (and more as land regenerates). Lets put money back into farmers pockets.
At least 30% higher yields for each farmer. The precise nutrients help improve photosynthesis for plants and help improve the growth speed. Biology helps cycle nutrients in the soil that make the plant more resistant to pest & disease.
Together, we are able to grow healthy plants that have high brix, low pest and disease, and low water requirements.
Significant reduction in pests & disease.
As plants have complete nutrients that they need - there is significantly less pest & disease issue. Plants only face disease pressure when they are unhealthy or missing nutrients - similar to humans. There is a lot of formulation of this research available online, and we have been able to replicate this as well with our inputs.
We bring native biology back to the land - microbes local to each farmer's bioregion. Not imported.
Our solutions bring fungal life back into soils. We target native strains of soil fungi that are indigenous to the land. We create microbial inoculants that are cultivated in the same bioregion as the farmers will apply them in.
For example, in Chiang Mai, we cultivate soil biology for customers in the north of Thailand. For planting cassava in Khao Yai, we have cultivated soil fungi for that region.
This is a core differentiating factor as we build microbes that are indigenous to that region. In face of climate change, they will survive the best in those conditions.
We take soils from forests in the local area that are healthy and alive to inoculate our piles. This brings a very high diversity. We are aiming for 1,000s of species of each kind of microorganism for each pile.
Remove guesswork from agricultures. No wasted $ by farmers.
Sequesters Up to 5 Tons of Carbon per Acre! (over multiple years).
Plants becomes more flood and drought resistant.
Fully made from domestic waste materials.
In the same format farmers know!
Our favorite: No need for pesticide/herbicide/fungicide/insecticide!
We aim to work with large staple crop growers. We are running trials on our farm in Thailand.
Email us if you are interested in trials - abhi@livingroots.co. We are scaling to more farmers by mid-2025.
Let's make regenerative agriculture available to every farmer in South East Asia! It only takes a 70 acre facility to make enough biological inoculants for 10 million acres.

Remove guesswork from agricultures. No wasted $ by farmers.
We remove guesswork from agriculture: precisely measuring all microbes and nutrients in our lab & through testing. No $ is spent by the farmers for no reason. There is no mass application of nutrients. It is precise.
We test all of our compost to have minimum quantities of biology. All of the nutrients are made to be plant available immediately.
Sequesters Up to 5 Tons of Carbon per Acre! (over multiple years).
Each increase in 1% organic matter on one acre sequesters 5T of carbon. With our solutions, we can rapidly re-build soil organic matter. 25 million acres x 5T is a lot! We want as many farmers to benefit from this as possible.
Adding soil fungi back to the soil means that they are able to use the roots of plants, waste materials, and more to add OM back to the land.
Plants becomes more flood and drought resistant.
Soils with higher organic matter are able to go through more prolonged droughts and floods. This is good for climate change as droughts and floods might happen in the same year.
1% improvement in soil organic matter per acre increases water holding capacity by 70,000+ liters. Soil microorganisms bind and create labile and stable soil organic matter.
Fully made from domestic waste materials.
A lot of our nutrients are made from industrial waste! We try to use as little imported products to use in our nutrient inputs. We use items that most people would throw away to extract nutrients from.
Our nutrients are made from aerobic bacteria, anaerobic ferments, and so much more! We use a lot of techniques to extract and store nutrients that are soluble for plants. They all come from waste!
We use over a 100 different waste products to make our inputs.
In the same format farmers know!
We offer our products in liquids & powders. What farmers already use! We are able to ship them bottles of nutrients and microbial inoculants in powders. Same methods as conventional fertilizers.
There might be some new products they are not used to - for example live microbes. They are made into liquid compost extracts that need to be used within 1-3 hours, but they are very low cost for the farmer to utilize. We're still experimenting on how to simplify this :)
Our favorite: No need for pesticide/herbicide/fungicide/insecticide!
When the plant has the full nutrients it needs and the biology is cycling nutrients for the plant as well, the plant does not have many pest & disease issues!
Think about it similar to a person: when a person has healthy immunity - people don't just get sick that often. With conventional fertilizers, we are blanket applying nutrients to plants, and killing biology.
With our approach you don't need to kill disease fungi, kill weeds, kill pests.
