Nature-inspired, science-ground. Backed by 10+ years of research.
Our company was founded on a simple principle: healthy soil is the foundation of resilience. With the right biology, soil can hold more water, support stronger roots, and help plants thrive — even in today’s hotter, drier world.

All About Our Story.
At the heart of C1iN is a belief that innovation doesn’t need to mean artificial. Nature already offers powerful solutions — and we are committed to advancing climate-resilient growth through microbiome science. Our goal is to help improve the sustainability of human-managed ecosystems, achieving a greener future while preserving resources for generations to come.
Our Mission
Everything we do is guided by these goals:
Help people grow more resilient plants with less water
Bring trusted science into everyday growing
Support regenerative soil practices that work in the real world

The Research
C1iN is built on over a decade of research at San Diego State University, where scientists studied how methanotrophic bacteria found in desert soil naturally support plant growth — particularly in arid, nutrient-poor, and drought-prone environments.
• Adding methane-consuming methanotrophic bacteria enhances soil and plant health.
• Plants in arid environments use methane for water and energy recovery.
• Methane consumption in dry soils increases when vegetation is present, leading to decrease in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Our manifesto
Our land is for life. We need to treasure it. We believe in natural solutions and preserving resources. We believe that we can support progress, feed our neighbors, and find joy through play — while supporting the planet.
We found a solution at the intersection of nature and science. Now we want to work together to implement it.

Why it matters
Reducing freshwater usage for efficient vegetation management — while improving soil carbon balance and decreasing atmospheric methane — is a vital step toward sustainability. Native arid and upland meadow soils naturally function as methane sinks, supporting soil carbon storage and nitrogen fixation. However, excessive fertilization and water use can disrupt this balance — turning soils into methane emitters. C1iN’s technology is designed to reverse this trend, using native soil microbiomes to:
• Bring trusted science into everyday growing
• Improve soil resilience to heat and radiation
• Boost nitrogen fixation while reducing fertilizer need
• Accelerate organic carbon deposition while utilizing atmospheric methane

• Methane-consuming microbes can thrive in almost every soil, helping improve soil health and plant resilience.
• A diverse mix (up to 20 strains) of native microbes developed by the C1iN team ensures adaptability across soil types
• Targets 3 essential elements of soil health: moisture retention, heat resilience, and organic carbon enhancement
What makes C1iN different:
The result: a sustainable, cost-effective solution that minimizes environmental impact — while improving plant growth under drought, heat, and reduced fertilization.
