Despite growers applying over 6B pounds of toxic pesticides each year, 20 - 40% of crops are lost to disease across the globe. As the climate changes, these losses are expected to increase 10 - 25% for every degree of global warming. Founded by MIT synthetic biologists, Robigo has developed a platform technology of programmable, CRISPR-enabled microbes that protect crops from disease with unrivaled specificity and efficacy. Leveraging machine learning and cutting edge genetic engineering, Robigo's new class of microbial treatments are fundamentally changing how the world treats crops to improve plant health, agricultural productivity, and sustainability.
