This week, we talk with Charles Smith and Dr. Victoria Holden, co-founders of Imio, to learn about their regenerative ag biotech company. Imio develops microbial inoculants that replace chemical inputs in agriculture. They noticed the amount of organic matter left at the end of a season that didn’t have an economic benefit to the farm and set out on a journey to transform the organic “waste” into a product that has positive economic benefits for farmers and the environment. One season’s “waste” becomes a source of nutrients for the next season, and presents a variety of benefits relative to landfilling, composting, or burning residuals as fuel. In this episode we explore the scientific process and research Imio has done. The types of growers that can benefit from the technology, how the product works, and the difference between compost and their product Re-Gen.
