Blue Zone – Restoration Pavilion

Nunatak offers nature-based solutions to remediate and restore soil health, by designing plant-microorganism associations. They are building a biotechnological platform that integrates information of soils, plant species, fungi and bacteria. It allows us to design different products to restore soils. Their first product combines the strength of Antarctic microorganisms with simple management and fast growing plant species: rye-grass . The benefits of our technology, allows us to transform degraded soils into living soils, promoting its biodiversity. By using plants, they provide  extra ecosystem services benefits and this can reflect in higher soil economic value.
