microTERRA

Microterra, based in Mexico, leverages biotechnology to create circular economy solutions for water management with significant social and environmental benefits. The company primarily serves the aquaculture industry by transforming wastewater from fish farming into valuable, sustainable protein feed using microalgae. This innovative approach not only treats wastewater but also generates a profitable byproduct, making the process economically viable. Microterra's technology has the potential to extend beyond aquaculture to treat wastewater from other livestock such as cows, chickens, and swine. The business operates in the sustainable agriculture and environmental technology markets, targeting farmers and aquaculture operators who are looking to adopt more sustainable practices. Microterra's business model involves selling its proprietary wastewater treatment systems and the resulting protein feed, creating multiple revenue streams. The company aims to empower farmers to adopt circular agricultural practices, conserve resources, and reduce environmental impact.
