Groundwork BioAg has entered into a strategic partnership with Syngenta to commercialize its mycorrhiza-based products and soil carbon solutions.
Under the partnership, Syngenta will market the products under its own label, initially targeting clients working with corn, soy, cereals, and sunflower crops in Latin America and Europe.
As an established biological crop protection provider, Syngenta will now offer a biological solution that enhances crop performance, provides resistance to plant stress, and improves soil health, while also giving farmers access to a revenue-generating carbon credit program.
Groundwork BioAg, on the other hand, will be responsible for the manufacturing, supply, digital tooling, and the full carbon program development process.
According to the partnering companies, farmers that opt in for this offer will benefit from more resilient crop yields and a new revenue stream from carbon credits.
“The model we’ve built with Groundwork BioAg goes beyond farming carbon—it builds resilience, restores soil health, and accumulates long-term carbon stocks at a remarkable pace, while generating carbon credits from which farmers directly benefit,” said Syngenta Group Chief Sustainability Officer Petra Laux.
Groundwork BioAg is a bioagriculture and climate tech company whose flagship product line, called Rootella®, is a globally leading mycorrhizal inoculant for mainstream agriculture, applied across millions of commercial acres to date.
Through its Rootella Carbon® program, the company delivers high-integrity, durable, nature-based carbon dioxide removal at an agricultural scale.

By joining forces with Syngenta, Groundwork BioAg is gaining a trusted ally who’s on a mission of empowering farmers with technologies and innovative farming practices as they make a sustainable transition that will help preserve our planet while feeding the world’s population.
Groundwork BioAG CEO Alon Werber stated, “This partnership provides commercial validation of our technology and is expected to generate a substantial source of revenue for farmers and Groundwork over the next few years.”
“By combining Syngenta’s market access with our proven mycorrhizal capabilities, we are positioning mycorrhizal fungi as both a valuable agronomic input and a significant pathway for agricultural climate mitigation through our end-to-end carbon program,” he added.
