Harnessing the power of biology to solve environmental challenges, from soil remediation and water treatment to carbon sequestration and ecosystem restoration.
Nature Is the Most Powerful Engineer We Know
The greatest environmental challenges of our time, degraded soils, contaminated water, collapsing biodiversity, rising carbon emissions, are not problems we can solve with chemistry alone. They require biological solutions that work with nature, not against it. Phytosynth Bioscience develops and deploys those solutions at scale.
Our environmental biosolutions practice combines microbiology, ecology, and process engineering to design systems that clean water, rebuild soils, convert waste into resources, and capture carbon, delivering measurable environmental and economic returns for our clients and the planet.
Our Approach
We begin with a systems-level diagnosis, mapping material flows, characterising microbial communities, and quantifying environmental baselines, before designing biological interventions that address root causes, not symptoms.
Circular by Design
Every solution we design treats waste as a resource out of place. Our systems convert agricultural residues, food-processing by-products, and contaminated media into valuable outputs, closing loops and creating revenue streams from what was once a liability.
Measurable Impact
We do not deal in vague promises of "greener" outcomes. Every project is built around quantified KPIs, tonnes of carbon sequestered, hectares restored, contaminant levels reduced, waste diverted, measured, verified, and reported transparently.
Services Include
End-to-end environmental services, from baseline assessment and diagnostic science through to engineering design, deployment, and long-term monitoring.
Soil Health & Remediation
Comprehensive soil assessment and biological remediation strategies. We characterise soil microbiomes, quantify organic matter dynamics, and design microbial inoculant programmes that restore fertility, structure, and carbon sequestration capacity.
Water Quality Management
Monitoring and treatment of agricultural runoff, industrial effluents, and natural water bodies using biofiltration, constructed wetlands, and microbial degradation, turning waste streams into recovered resources.
Waste Bioconversion
Transforming agricultural, food-processing, and municipal organic waste into valuable products, compost, biochar, biogas, and insect protein, using optimised microbial consortia and invertebrate bioprocessing systems.
Bioremediation
Deployment of native and engineered microorganisms to degrade pesticides, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants in soil and water, monitored with molecular tools that track degradation kinetics and microbial community shifts.
Climate Resilience Planning
Vulnerability assessments and adaptation roadmaps for farms, watersheds, and regions, combining downscaled climate projections with on-the-ground ecological data to identify the most cost-effective resilience investments.
Carbon Sequestration & Accounting
Measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of soil and biomass carbon stocks. We design carbon farming protocols, baseline surveys, and monitoring programmes that qualify for voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
Ecosystem Restoration
Design and implementation of restoration projects for degraded landscapes, reforestation, wetland rehabilitation, riparian buffer establishment, and invasive species management, grounded in ecological science and community engagement.
Bioenergy & Bioeconomy
Feasibility studies and technology validation for bioenergy pathways, anaerobic digestion, algal biofuels, lignocellulosic ethanol, integrated with waste streams and agricultural residues to create circular bioeconomy systems.
Who We Work With
We serve every actor with a stake in environmental health, from the farmer tending a single watershed to the ministry setting national policy.
Farmers & Growers
Commercial farms and smallholders seeking to improve soil health, reduce chemical inputs, access carbon markets, and build long-term resilience into their operations.
Water Utilities
Public and private water management entities needing biological treatment solutions, source-water protection, and nutrient management in reservoirs and watersheds.
Waste Management Firms
Companies handling organic waste streams who want to move up the value chain, from disposal to bioconversion, producing revenue-generating products from what was once a cost centre.
Extractive Industries
Mining and oil & gas companies with remediation obligations on disturbed lands, tailings facilities, and contaminated sites, requiring scientifically rigorous, regulator-accepted biological solutions.
Development Organisations
Multilateral development banks, UN agencies, and international NGOs implementing large-scale environmental programmes in agriculture, forestry, and watershed management.
Government Agencies
Environmental protection authorities, agricultural ministries, and climate change offices developing policies, incentive programmes, and monitoring frameworks for natural resource management.
Deliverables
Every project delivers operational assets, not just advisory documents, systems that work, plans that can be built, and data that stands up to third-party scrutiny.
Microbiome Assessment Reports
Comprehensive soil and water microbial community profiles using 16S/ITS amplicon sequencing or shotgun metagenomics, with diversity indices, functional predictions, and management recommendations.
Bioprocess Design Packages
Engineering specifications for bioremediation systems, composting facilities, or anaerobic digesters, including mass balances, energy budgets, equipment lists, and operational SOPs.
Environmental Monitoring Plans
Site-specific sampling designs, sensor deployment strategies, analyte lists, and quality assurance protocols for long-term environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance.
Climate Adaptation Roadmaps
Prioritised, costed, and phased action plans for climate resilience, covering crop diversification, water infrastructure, soil conservation, and institutional capacity building.
Restoration Master Plans
Spatially explicit restoration designs with species selection, planting schedules, bioengineering specifications, and five-year monitoring frameworks with success indicators.
