Azolla Projects focuses on regenerative agriculture, using the fast-growing aquatic fern Azolla to enhance carbon sequestration, soil health, and sustainable farming. Their R&D lies in developing scalable biofertilizer systems, reducing dependency on synthetic inputs. The solution is highly effective, Azolla can sequester ~32.5 metric tonnes of CO₂ per hectare annually, 30x more than grasslands. In trials, it cut chemical fertiliser use by 60% in rice cultivation without reducing yield, and as livestock feed, it increased milk production by 15–20% while lowering fodder costs by up to 50%.
