Accelerating biological breakthroughs to cut livestock emissions and protect farmer livelihoods worldwide.
Swedish entrepreneur Martin Blomberg is a biotechnology innovator dedicated to transforming global food systems. Inspired by his medical biotechnology research, Martin saw how slow discovery timelines left farmers reliant on outdated inputs with low efficacy and high environmental impact. Through his company Root bio, Martin is closing this gap.
Combining AI with automated robotics, Root bio compresses biological discovery from years down to weeks. Their feed additive cuts methane emissions from cows by 30% to 50% while improving feed efficiency across diverse farming systems, creating physical solutions at a fraction of traditional costs.
Martin champions low-cost, physical AI tools that deliver breakthroughs directly to low-resource settings. Partnering with global distributors to integrate these active ingredients into everyday feed, he advocates for giving smallholder farmers affordable access to the same caliber of biological innovation historically reserved for high-margin markets.
