Grit Road Partners

Grit Road Partners is pleased to announce its newest partnership with RhizeBio. We are excited to add another father/son co-founder team, Douglas Toal and Joshua Toal. RhizeBio (based in North Carolina) is an agriculture technology company developing and commercializing new data-driven tools to guide agriculture management practices. RhizeBio’s patented technology measures changes on the farm where soil microbes interact with crop roots, also known as the rhizosphere. By measuring changes in biodiversity, nutrient cycling potential and stress tolerance in crop roots, RhizeBio empowers farmers to make informed decisions that improve the natural capital within their soil. This approach improves farmer profitability, restoration of depleted soils, improved crop health, performance, and environmental sustainability.
