Improving soil structure, water retention and erosion control using microbial consortia
Global soil health is critically challenged by industrial agriculture, erosion, and climate change, leading to nutrient depletion, contamination, and structural degradation. Key threats include soil compaction, loss of organic carbon, acidification, salinization, and pollution from chemicals. These factors disrupt the soil food web, reduce soil productivity, and threaten global food security.
Our microbial consortia is designed to improve soil structure, enhance water retention capacity of the soil, and control erosion. The scientific rationale of the product is solid and based upon genomic analyses and metabolic modeling. It has been evaluated in a small greenhouse study and appears promising. Samples of the product have been deployed to multiple growers in the US and Canada for evaluation in small scale field trials during 2026. Due to harsh winter conditions, these evaluations have not yet commenced.
About Ancient Organics Bioscience, Inc.
Ancient Organics Bioscience, Inc. is a biotechnology company that develops advanced microbial inoculants designed to regenerate and detoxify soil. The company utilizes its proprietary MetaFlux metabolic modeling algorithm and genomic precision to identify and assemble robust microbial consortia, which are communities of microbes that work symbiotically to fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphate, and break down toxins. By fortifying these formulations with their NutriCarrier prebiotic and postbiotic matrix, the company creates solutions that persist in the soil to restore health, improve nutrient availability, and increase crop yields while reducing reliance on synthetic chemical fertilizers.
These solutions are particularly significant for farmers and growers addressing challenges such as unproductive soil, poor plant health, and environmental contaminants, including the degradation of glyphosate and sequestration of heavy metals like lead and arsenic. The company's flagship product, PaleoPower, has received full organic certification from the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. By leveraging evidence-based microbial technology to rebuild soil vitality and reduce chemical dependency, Ancient Organics aims to support sustainable agriculture and the production of safer food, backed by research and field trials conducted by experts in microbial ecology and plant pathology.
