Our Vision
Agriculture is facing a challenge greater than ever before in human history: feeding 9.5 billion people in 2050 with less water, chemical fertilisers, fossil fuels and phytopharmaceutical products, all in an environment of global warming and scarcity of arable land.
In response to this challenge, Mycophyto offers a range of innovative solutions to optimize natural biological balances and increase the resilience of agricultural systems.
Our Aim: to help develop a new agriculture that meets social, environmental and economic expectations.
Our natural biological products and our technological prediction and decision support tools allow us to restore biological diversity to agro-ecosystems in the long term .
our mission
To provide personalised microbiological solutions and to support agricultural stakeholders to:
– Improve the natural biodiversity of the soil
– Increase the yield and quality of the crops
– Reduce the environmental impact of crops
– Adapt to climate change
Cultivate clean products that respect the health of consumers.
Mycophyto aims to become a leader in offering microbiological solutions in biostimulation, and to reinvent the agriculture of the future.
our values
Balance – Nature – Commitment
Independence – Scientific Excellence
Our promise:
Revitalised soils and a renewed biodiversity that creates a durable and high-yielding agriculture.
