Our take
Indigo is a company that analyzes the microbiomes of plants in order to create products that can be used to make crops - like wheat and cotton - hardier and more proliferous. As the world's population expands, and the effects of global warming increase, producing high crop yields in the face of extreme weather events, like drought, is a key concern of the agricultural industry.
Indigo was launched by founders with a background in microbiology, who wanted to transfer their experience using microbes to treat human diseases towards a similar process for engineering plants and seeds. As well as selling its products - such as seat coatings - directly to growers, the company launched the Indigo Marketplace, which is a place for farmers and buyers to sell grain for maximum profit online.
Through its research partners, Indigo analyzes a trillion data points a day towards creating new innovations and technologies for farming. It has also launched "Carbon by Indigo", which encourages farmers to transition to more sustainable farming practices, by generating agricultural carbon credits for which the farmer will receive 75% of the price of sale. This dedication to innovation and sustainability is what allows Indigo to stand out against its competitors.
