At SilviBio, our mission is to help farmers and foresters adapt to water scarcity and increasingly common drought periods.
Founded in 2019 by science entrepreneurs, Dr Alicja Dzieciol and Dr Mariela Aguilera Miranda, we create innovative seed and soil treatment technologies that not only use water and fertilisers more productively but boost seed germination and seedling establishment as well.
SilviBio's technology aims to get the most out of precious seed resources, reduce synthetic agricultural inputs, and reduce water usage. We work with forest nurseries and tree-planting programmes to improve the effectiveness of seed use and establishment.
