Understanding life below ground has never been more important.

We're proud to see our Lead Agronomist, Dr. Jacob Parnell, among the authors of this newly published paper exploring the global assessment of soil-dependent species and the growing effort to better understand and protect soil biodiversity.

The study represents an important step toward improving our understanding of the life below ground and its role in supporting healthy ecosystems, resilient landscapes, and sustainable food production.

At Biome Makers, we believe that better understanding soil biology is key to supporting healthier soils, more resilient agricultural systems, and a deeper appreciation of the biodiversity beneath our feet.

Global extinction risk assessment of soil-dependent species: recent progress and recommendations

05/28/2026

Farming has become a game of expensive decisions.

Every fertilizer application, biological product, crop protection pass, and management change has to work harder when input costs are high and margins are tight.

The challenge is that many of these decisions are still made without a clear understanding of what is happening below the surface.

Traditional soil testing shows what nutrients are present, but soil biology helps reveal how nutrients are cycled and made available to the crop.

That is where the ROI of soil biology begins.

In our latest blog, we explore 5 ways microbial data can help growers protect farm margins, improve input efficiency, and make more confident agronomic decisions.

We’re excited to share that Sarah Basiri, CRO at Biome Makers, will be speaking and chairing at The Future of Food & Beverage Forum USA starting tomorrow in Minneapolis.

Sarah will join speakers from Front Porch Farms and Grain Millers, Inc. for the breakout session: “Let’s be honest about soil health: Leveraging ag-tech for simple, comparable metrics that can drive farmer collaboration and profitability”

📅 Wednesday, May 27, 2026
⏰ 1:50 PM – 2:40 PM
📍 Minneapolis, Minnesota

We’re also excited to have Taniell Liepner, CPG Lead at Biome Makers, attending as part of our team.

Looking forward to conversations around regenerative agriculture, soil health, biodiversity, and how science and technology can help create measurable impact across the food system.

If you’ll be attending, we’d love to connect.

11 years ago in San Francisco, Biome Makers started with a mission to better understand soil and help agriculture produce healthier food while improving the planet.

Today, that mission continues to drive us.

Over the past 11 years, together with our global community of farmers, agronomists, advisors, partners, and customers, that mission has grown into a global effort advancing soil intelligence to support more sustainable and resilient agriculture.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey and helped shape the future of soil health with us. We’re excited for what comes next as we continue advancing the future of agriculture from beneath the surface. 🌱

¿Qué ocurre en el suelo cuando implementamos prácticas regenerativas? 🌱

Los cultivos de servicio y el intercropping están transformando la forma en que entendemos la salud del suelo. Pero hoy, el desafío ya no es solo implementar estas prácticas… sino poder medir su impacto real.

En este webinar junto a Fertilab y con la participación de ITTA, exploraremos cómo combinar:
- Análisis microbiológico
- Análisis físico-químico
- Prácticas regenerativas

para obtener una visión más completa del sistema productivo y apoyar decisiones agronómicas más informadas.

Además, compartiremos un caso práctico en cultivo de cebada donde exploraremos cómo distintas prácticas regenerativas pueden influir en la dinámica del suelo y el microbioma.

📅 26 de mayo
🕙 10 am (CDMX) / 6 pm (España)
💻 Webinar gratuito

Ponentes:
• Paula Artola - ITTA / Biome Makers
• Marcos Machado - Biome Makers
• Miguel Peña Datoli - Fertilab

Access to soil intelligence should not be a VIP club for large operations.

Small and medium-sized farms make big decisions too.

Fertilizer. Biologicals. Crop protection. Disease management. Every choice matters when input costs are high and margins are tight.

Thanks to some exciting upgrades to our Smart Sampling System, BeCrop Farm can now better support operations of any size.

With this new improvement, more growers can access soil biology insights to optimize input use, identify disease risks earlier, understand field-level variability, and make more confident decisions.

Because better data should not depend on farm size.

For a limited time, new small and medium farm projects are eligible for 20% off.

A Biome Makers estará presente no 1º Simpósio Brasileiro de Solos e Nutrição de Plantas, nos dias 20 e 21 de maio, em Ribeirão Preto/SP.

Nosso Country Manager Brasil, Jacques Dieu, participará do evento acompanhando discussões sobre saúde do solo, fertilidade, biologia do solo, nutrição de plantas e manejo voltado à produtividade e rentabilidade no campo.

O simpósio reunirá pesquisadores, consultores, agrônomos, cooperativas e profissionais do agro em dois dias de conteúdo técnico-científico conectado à realidade das fazendas brasileiras.

Se você também estará no evento e quiser conversar sobre saúde biológica do solo, diagnóstico avançado e como o BeCrop® pode apoiar decisões agronômicas mais precisas, teremos prazer em nos conectar!

📍 20 e 21 de maio de 2026
📍 Multiplan Hall – Ribeirão Shopping – Ribeirão Preto/SP

Nos vemos lá!

Crop protection decisions are often made without full visibility into how soil biology influences disease and pest pressure. With increasing product options, aligning strategies with field conditions is more important than ever.

In our upcoming webinar, “From Soil Biology to Crop Protection Decisions”, we will cover topics that include:
- How soil biology influences disease and pest pressure
- The role of microbial communities in natural suppression
- Interpreting soil data to support product decisions
- Real-world case studies on crop protection strategies

📅 May 21 at 11 am EST.

We’re joining The Future of Food & Beverage Forum in Amsterdam this May 11–13, a space for real conversations on building resilient food systems.

This year’s forum focuses on how resilience, data, and farmer-centric strategies are shaping the future of the food industry.

We’re especially excited to share that Sarah Basiri (CRO at Biome Makers) will be speaking in a breakout session:

“Soil carbon claims: What do we really know about the science and the long-term effect of soil carbon stores?”
🕒 Day 1 | 14:30–15:15

Together with industry experts, the session will explore what we really know about soil carbon and its role in long-term impact and decision-making.

Most product trials generate data. Very few translate into field-level decisions that drive revenue.

If you can’t clearly identify where a product will work and where it won’t, you’re leaving both performance and sales on the table.

Join our upcoming webinar, From Product Trials to Precision Placement That Drives Revenue, to see how biological insights connect trial results to real farm conditions.

In this session, we will cover topics that include:
• Moving beyond yield-only trial results
• The role of soil biology in product performance
• Turning trial data into field-level recommendations
• Real examples connecting trials to on-farm decisions
