Company Description

Lyrata Inc. is revolutionizing hydroponic agriculture with SmartSoil, a biodegradable, recyclable grow-media that drastically reduces carbon emissions. Unlike traditional grow-media like rockwool, which emit up to 2400 kg-CO2e per ton, SmartSoil reduces this by up to 65 times. By integrating low-carbon, 3D-printed biopolymers, SmartSoil enhances operational efficiency and sets a new standard for sustainability.

Our solution addresses the environmental impact and significantly improves yield and food security, positioning SmartSoil as the next-generation standard for sustainable hydroponic farming [1].
