About Loam Bio
Loambio.com, operating under the brand name Loam, is an innovative startup that leverages microbial carbon capture technology to address climate change issues. The company uses endophytic fungi, a type of microbe, to capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil, thereby enhancing soil health and crop yield. This process not only helps in reducing carbon emissions but also contributes to sustainable agriculture.
