<p>We are on a mission to regenerate soil at a planetary scale—automated terraforming, with a solar powered robotics platform.</p>
<p>Planetary recovery through the soil - More than 50% of our soils are degraded—by chemicals and soil management practices that undercut carbon sequestration potential. At Aigen, we are restoring our planet's health, through the land and our soils with an affordable, precision edge robotics platform.</p>
