About us

Our Story

Take Root Bio began with a challenge from the European Space Agency:
How can humans grow a complete diet inside a closed-loop biosphere in space?

This challenge sparked the foundation of Take Root Bio.

Today, we apply biosphere engineering principles to Earth’s most urgent needs — food insecurity, climate resilience, and community regeneration.

Our modular systems integrate AI, carbon and nutrient sensors, water recycling, circular energy loops, and digital twins to grow food anywhere on Earth — while advancing pathways for future off-world agricultural systems.

 

Our Mission

To pioneer space agriculture technologies that strengthen life on Earth while advancing the knowledge required for long-term human presence beyond our planet.

UK Space Agency (digital twin development)
