AgBiome focuses on the discovery and development of biological and transgenic products for crop protection. By identifying microbes from a wide variety of sources, AgBiome is harnessing their natural abilities to help crops resist pests and stresses.

Enko, an agricultural life sciences company, is applying DNA-encoded libraries, artificial intelligence, structure-based design, and machine learning to identify and develop new, safer products that protect crops from pests and disease. The foundation’s support is helping accelerate development of innovative products that are affordable to smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Evolve BioSystems, a microbiome company, is developing the next generation of products to establish, restore, and maintain a healthy gut microbiome. The foundation is backing Evolves further development of its lead probiotic Evivo to support healthy growth and development, and prevent infection in infants in developing countries.

Provivi is developing and delivering next-generation crop protection products that address pests of relevance for small-scale producers in low-income geographies.
