Adaptive Symbiotic Technologies

Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of drought and heat events worldwide. AST's innovation empowers farmers with microbial technologies that enable crops to withstand up to fourty five days of extreme drought, protect flower fertilization during high heat, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and increase both yields and yield quality. This will support farmers' sustenance, farm revenues and export potential. Additionally, it boosts crop biomass, providing more fodder for livestock.

Adaptive Symbiotic Technologies (AST) produces BioEnsure, a series of seed, crop and tree applied bio‑enhancements that make crops more resilient to heat, drought and salinity while cutting water and synthetic fertilizer needs. AST scientists harnessed plants’ natural root symbioses with microscopic fungi to create BioEnsure, which integrates during germination and improves stress tolerance within 24 hours. Paired with BioTango, a bacterial fertilizer, the solution further reduces fertilizer dependence and strengthens climate protection, increasing biomass, yields and crop quality. The solutions offer a scalable, low‑input solution for climate‑stressed smallholder and commercial farming systems.

In Jordan, AST’s solutions, BioEnsure and BioTango, reached 1,767 smallholder farmers and their households, delivering an average of 48 percent yield increase. 

Across Jordan, India, Ghana, North America and Australia, thousands of farmers use these solutions to withstand climate stress, secure more animal fodder, access export markets, raise farm incomes and cut fertilizer and water use. Most importantly, BioEnsure and BioTango have saved crops during prolonged droughts and extreme heat, strengthening food security and resilience for small landholders while improving productivity and market opportunities.
