Ambienta, the European asset manager focused on sustainability-driven investments, has acquired Agronova Biotech in its first move into sustainable agriculture. The Spain-based company, recognised globally for its biological crop solutions, was purchased from Magnum Industrial Partners and the Casanova family.
Agronova provides microbial alternatives to chemical fertilisers and pesticides, enhancing nutrient uptake and helping farmers maximise crop yields using organic methods. Its portfolio includes over 800 products—such as biostimulants and biocontrols—designed to manage both biotic stressors like insects and fungi, and abiotic stressors such as drought and flooding.
