Farmers around the world face declining soil health due to long-term chemical fertiliser use. This leads to weaker soils, reduced biodiversity, and higher production costs. SoilBiom tackles these challenges by combining microbial biofertilisers with simple, science-based tools that help farmers to understand their soil ecosystems. By restoring the natural balance of life in the soil and lowering chemical dependency, SoilBiom supports healthier crops and more resilient farming systems.

SoilBiom creates biofertilisers using beneficial microorganisms taken directly from the crops and soils they are designed to support. This “tailored” approach makes the product more effective and environmentally friendly. Alongside the fertiliser, SoilBiom offers easy-to-use biodiversity assessments that read traces of DNA in soil to understand ecosystem health. This combination provides farmers with a clearer picture of their land, and a sustainable way to improve productivity.

SoilBiom works with leading agricultural producers across Turkey in tea, tobacco, barley, fruit orchards, and organic strawberry farming. The company has carried out more than 50 field trials showing improved soil health, reduced fertiliser use, and better crop performance. SoilBiom has a growing team and strong industry partnerships, positioning the company for international expansion and broader adoption of sustainable farming practices.
