Carbon Neutral Ag Sciences
Carbon Neutral Ag Sciences specializes in the application of science to create innovative, patented products which address current challenges such as access to water in agriculture. Using advanced, proprietary chemistry, the Company manufactures BountiGel an eco-friendly, super-absorbent soil amendment that absorbs up to 150 times its weight in water while maintaining its mechanical strength. BountiGel will repeatedly absorb and release water to the root system, utilizing its unique double cross-linked structure. Due to its superior mechanical strength, BountiGel remains effective for up to three years until it safely biodegrades, and does not contain polyacrylamide. The company`s next-generation soil additive technology produces higher crop yields while reducing water consumption.

About us
Who we are
The company's staff of laboratory scientists is developing technologies that address the challenges related to water availability, nutrient absorption, and crop health that all growers contend with.
The company’s vision is to promote economic and environmental sustainability through technology that promotes the efficient management of water in agriculture.
Field trials conducted by UC Davis, UC Cooperative Extension, and CSU Fresno have demonstrated increased yields and reduced water needs across a wide variety of crops. A pilot program conducted in 2013 with dozens of farms resulted in an average yield improvement of 18% across a variety of crops and soil types. Specific results include:
- 50% yield increase for fresh tomato (CSU Fresno)
- 30% yield increase with 25% less water for broccoli (UC Davis – El Centro)
- Fresh tomato maintained yield with 50% less water (commercial farm)
