Biome Makers, a global leader in agricultural technology, has been selected as a partner in an alliance aimed at promoting sustainable and profitable sugarcane production. This initiative includes collaboration with the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER), the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the National Union of Cane Growers (UNC-CNPR), Syngenta, Bonsucro, and Biofábrica Siglo XXI.
Promoting Sustainable Sugarcane Production
The alliance’s goal is to provide farmers with the tools and knowledge to integrate microbial fertilizers, organic matter, biological pest control, mechanized harvesting, and efficient water use. These practices are expected to enhance soil health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a more sustainable approach to sugarcane farming.
Biome Makers will contribute its BeCrop technology to the initiative. This technology is designed to evaluate and optimize soil conditions, helping farmers achieve higher yields while maintaining sustainability.
Biome Makers’ Role and Technology
Marcel Morales, Director of Biofábrica Siglo XXI, commented, “Collaborating with Biome Makers marks a significant advancement for sustainable agriculture. Their expertise in soil health analytics will help transform sugarcane production in Mexico, making it more efficient and eco-friendly.”
BeCrop technology by Biome Makers uses DNA sequencing and machine learning to analyze and monitor the soil microbiome. This analysis provides actionable insights critical for predicting crop performance, identifying potential disease threats, and guiding sustainable soil management practices. Accessible via the BeCrop Portal, the data offers detailed soil microbial community reports in a user-friendly format, assisting farmers, agronomists, and advisors in making informed decisions for the next growing season.
Optimizing Soil Health
The insights provided by BeCrop technology are essential for enhancing soil health. By understanding the microbial composition of the soil, farmers can tailor their practices to foster a more balanced and productive soil environment. This approach not only boosts crop yields but also contributes to long-term environmental stewardship.
Adrian Ferrero, Cofounder and CEO of Biome Makers, stated, “We are honored to be part of this groundbreaking alliance. Our BeCrop technology will deliver crucial insights into soil health, aiding farmers in implementing sustainable practices that enhance productivity and environmental stewardship.”
