Biome Makers, a global leader in soil microbiology, announced today their expansion into new 4,200 square feet headquarters located at 202 Cousteau Place, Davis, CA. Biome Makers has already started constructing and redesigning the space to begin operations in Jan 2023.


Biome Makers was operating out of the Bayer CS's CoLaborator, a co-working space in West Sacramento, and needed to increase their space due to the company's exponential growth. "Our new larger facility was the necessary next step as we needed to expand our laboratory to reduce turnaround time for results, serve new clients and adapt to the growing global demand of BeCrop® technology," states Adrian Ferrero, Co-founder, and CEO at Biome Makers.

The company decided to stay in California, the World's AgTech Hub, to support its many clients in the area. "Davis is a global powerhouse for farming and agriculture research. Our headquarters in Davis allows us to engage with the strong agricultural community. This is our way to give back to the region that has supported us since our inception," adds Adrian Ferrero.

Biome Makers was founded in San Francisco, CA, in 2015 by Alberto Acedo and Adrian Ferrero, who dreamed of taking action to recover soil health through science and technology. Today, their proprietary technology, BeCrop®, is utilized in 40+ countries, impacting over 417,000 hectares worldwide and empowering over 8,000 farmers to adopt regenerative practices and recover soil health.

"We are very excited about the future of Biome Makers. This new location is a testament to our hard work and dedication to soil restoration and sustainable agriculture. The new Davis HQ will enable us to scale our operations and support the global demand for BeCrop® technology, the industry standard for soil health," states Ferrero.

How to overcome GNSS limitations with RTK correction services

Although GNSS offers ubiquitous coverage worldwide, its accuracy can be hindered in some situations - signals can be attenuated by heavy vegetation, for example, or obstructed by tall buildings in dense urban canyons. This results in signals being received indirectly or via the multipath effect, leading to inaccuracy, or even blocked entirely. Unimpeded GNSS positioning in all real world scenarios is therefore unrealistic - creating a need for supporting technologies, such as real time kinematic (RTK) positioning and dead reckoning, to enable centimeter-accuracy for newer mass-market IoT devices.
