Agriculture & Food Security

Climate-smart agriculture to reduce environmental impact and support long-term food security are top public sector priorities. Ginkgo’s bio-based products, such as biofertilizers and soil enhancers, offer alternatives to traditional chemical fertilizers, improving soil health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Safeguarding food systems from pests and diseases is a critical mission of public sector agencies. Ginkgo’s biosensing technologies enable early pathogen detection in crops and livestock, supporting efforts to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases and maintain food system integrity.

Developing resilient crops that withstand climate stressors, pests, and diseases is a key public sector focus. Ginkgo’s genome editing capabilities and services support enhanced crop resilience by producing microbes that improve nutrient uptake and increase stress tolerance, improving productivity in diverse growing conditions.

Using AI to optimize resource efficiency and resilience in agriculture is increasingly important. Ginkgo’s AI-driven optimization supports precision agriculture by improving the efficacy of biofertilizers and microbial solutions, tailoring them to specific crop and soil needs for maximum impact​.

Public sector agencies promote reducing waste and recycling agricultural materials as part of a circular economy. Ginkgo’s engineered microbes aid in waste recycling and bioremediation, helping transform organic waste into reusable resources, supporting sustainable waste management in agriculture​.
