<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><u><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">More About Indigo Agriculture</span></u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Inspired by insights from the human microbiome, Indigo started with the hypothesis that microbes living inside the plant (endosymbionts) are vital to their health, but we found that some of these important microbes were being reduced by
modern agricultural practices. By using sophisticated genomic sequencing and computational bioinformatics, Indigo has assembled what we believe is the world’s largest database of genomic information from these microbes. We apply algorithms and machine learning
to this database to predict which microbes are most beneficial to the plant’s health. The resulting products complement a plant’s natural processes to improve health and development across each phase of life, while boosting crop yields. Visit their
