Terraxy is a KAUST startup pivoting years of rigorous research on nature-inspired approaches to desert agriculture. Our sustainable technologies are unlocking the potential of deserts for food production, landscaping, greening, and afforestation. Understandably, the two crucial challenges impeding plant growth in a hot & dry desert ecosystem, e.g., the Middle East and beyond, are the inefficient use of water and the lack of nutrients in the poor sandy soils. Terraxy's SandX and CarboSoil technologies enhance irrigation efficiency and soil fertility for the long term, respectively. This boosts the plant survivability and growth under extremely hot and dry conditions. CarboSoil curtails organic landfilling, facilitates long-term carbon sequestration, and combats desertification and climate change. SandX and CarboSoil have been extensively tested on a variety of crops and native trees spanning multiple years. Terraxy's pilot sites have been deployed at multiple sites in Saudi Arabia. Our materials are purposely developed to be economically viable and environmentally friendly solutions for growing plants in the desert. Our vision and mission are aligned with the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030, and most especially, the ambitious goals of the Saudi Green Initiative of rehabilitating vast lands and planting billions of trees throughout Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. Terraxy also offers R&D and consulting services for greening/landscaping/afforestation projects, including scoping, planning, soil and water surveys, irrigation technologies, planting trees, monitoring plant growth and carbon sequestration, and conducting life cycle assessments (LCA).

Innovating for Saudi Arabia's soil! 🌱 #KAUST Professor Himanshu Mishra & Adair Gallo Jr., co-founders of KAUST startup Terraxy, are revolutionizing #agriculture in desert climates like Saudi Arabia. Terraxy's technology uses #biocoal to deliver nutrients to the soil and a special type of sand that prevents #water from evaporating from the soil in the hot dry climate. From Brazil to the Saudi Arabian desert, their journey demonstrates the power of global collaboration in research and entrepreneurship. #AgriTech https://kaust.link/LjC3

CEO Terraxy | Chemical and Environmental Engineer | PhD | Engineering desert soils 🌱
Last week I had the pleasure of representing Terraxy at the Forum on Fostering Innovation for Collective Impact and Sustainable Development organized by C4IR KSA and the World Economic Forum. During our panel session on “Agritech Innovation for Global Food Security”, we discussed strategies on how to expedite the implementation of innovation at scale. It was great to share the lessons we have learned so far at Terraxy. At Terraxy, we develop technologies that make sense! Our #CarboSoil technology is not just a fertilizer; it is a way of reengineering desert soils. Through years of trial and error, testing, adapting and re-formulating, we have identified the most important parameters in soil health. We are now joining forces with strategic partners to expedite the scale-up and implementation of our materials in KSA. Our mission is to enable the ambitious targets of the Saudi Green Initiative and to enhance our local food production, despite the most challenging environmental conditions on the planet! Let me take a moment to thank Basma AlBuhairan for the invitation to participate in this wonderful panel; Shelly Kanhai Trench for moderating the session, H.E. Dr. Abdulaziz Almalik, Purushottam Kaushik and SUZANNE T. from Smart Oasis. Photo credits: Batool Albar, GM at Terraxy. :D #SGI #LandRehabilitation #Afforestation #Agritech #KAUST
