Nature has the solutions to our problems.
Biomimicry Botanicals bridges the aquatic to terrestrial microbiology spectrum — learning from living systems to build a net positive future for agriculture.
Our Mission
Food to fertilizer and beyond
Water is the lifeblood of this planet and known as the universal solvent. Every drop that goes into our processes is sacred and part of the bigger picture. Seed to spent plant biomass becoming fertilizer; nothing goes to waste.
Our compass
Core Values
Everything we do is guided by a single conviction: agriculture and agronomy can give back more than they take. By closing the loop between water, soil, and their microbe-driven systems, we work toward a future where food production is a net positive force on the planet.
Develop the worthy research.
Next generational focused.
Collaboration > competition.

The Vision
Agriculture ↔ Agronomy: A Closed Loop
Our two divisions are designed to work in concert — aquatic systems producing food and biomass, soil systems converting that biomass into living amendments that restore the earth. Energy and nutrients cycle continuously, mimicking the closed loops that have sustained ecosystems for billions of years.

Our Divisions
Two Divisions. One Closed Loop.
Ponic Productions
Aquatic systems, reimagined.
Ponic Productions explores the aquatic frontier of food production and ecosystem science — encompassing aquaponics, hydroponics, and aeroponics. We study the microbial communities that make these water-based systems thrive, developing living methods that mirror nature's own nutrient cycles.
- Aquaponics — integrating fish and plant production in symbiotic recirculating systems
- Hydroponics — precision nutrient delivery through water-based growing media
- Aeroponics — mist-based root zone cultivation for maximum oxygen and efficiency
- Microbial ecology — cultivating beneficial aquatic microbiomes
- Biomass outputs — harvesting plant and microbial material for downstream soil use
Fermentilizer
Living amendments for living soil.
Fermentilizer develops fermented biological soil amendments that restore microbial diversity and organic matter to degraded land. Drawing on traditional fermentation science and modern microbiology, we produce inputs that feed the soil food web rather than bypassing it.
- EM1 — effective microorganism consortia for soil inoculation
- Bokashi — anaerobic fermentation of organic matter into stable amendments
- Vermiculture — worm-based composting integrated with fermentation outputs
- Fermented plant extracts — bioavailable foliar and root-zone inputs
- Soil amendment research — field trials measuring microbial and yield outcomes
