Deep mineral nutrition
Plants and fungi receive a broad spectrum of bioavailable minerals and organic acids. This builds dense root systems and active soil life instead of NPK-driven "zombie plants".
Biology First
Data Verified
METTA Green Deep Tech designs grow systems that turn ordinary fields into high-yield, nutrient-dense production sites while storing more carbon in living soils.

- 4x
- larger root systems in fast-growing trees, with near-100% survival under stress in early trials
- 20-120%
- higher yields in crops and fungi pilots, with visibly stronger plants and dense fruiting
- ~120 t CO₂
- per hectare per year in modeled tree systems, with conservative project ROIs in the double digits
Turning biology into infrastructure
METTA Green Deep Tech turns these trial gains into standardised nodes for reforestation, Hyperfood production and climate-positive cities. Guided by its 3P+S compass – People, Planet, Prosperity plus Sustainability – each project links measured yield, nutrition and CO₂ removal to robust unit economics for investors and benefits for local communities.
From emerging technologies to process innovations, we guide you through the adoption and integration of new tools and systems, ensuring a seamless transition and delivering measurable improvements in performance and outcomes.
Biology guided by data
Roots and fungi first
We design conditions so roots and mycorrhiza form strong networks that move water, nutrients, and carbon efficiently. Healthy underground biology is the base for every trial.
Structured experiments
For each crop we run controlled trials with defined doses, timings and environments. Results are compared across plots and seasons instead of relying on one-off anecdotes.
Model-guided decisions
Data from these trials feeds into statistical models that show which combinations maximise yield, nutrient density, and CO2 storage per hectare. Those settings become the playbooks for future sites.
Starting with rice
Controlled environments
Trials run in greenhouses with separated plots, defined dosages and stable conditions. Each plot is monitored so results can be compared cleanly.
Clear performance targets
For each cycle we track yield per m², water use, plant health and nutrient density. Target gains are in the +20–30% yield range with less water and higher nutrient density than standard practice.
From pilot to nodes
Successful recipes become standardised "node" configurations that can be deployed in Asia, MENA and Europe with known inputs, expected outputs, and CO2 profiles.
Space-ready biology
METTA Green Deep Tech develops closed-loop, biology-first food production systems for extreme environments on Earth and in space, in cooperation with top-tier partners from academia and industry. By addressing gravity as a core biological constraint, METTA Green Deep Tech enables resilient plant growth under microgravity and harsh terrestrial conditions—supporting food production, oxygen generation, and CO₂ recycling in bioregenerative life-support systems. Leveraging genomic pathway discovery and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, METTA Green Deep Tech enhances crop tolerance to microgravity, drought, salinity, and heat. The result is scalable, high-yield, nutrient-dense agriculture designed for future space habitats and immediate Earth-based impact.
METTA is led by a biotech engineer turning living systems into resilient food and carbon infrastructure
Founder Peter Hegedues is a biotechnology engineer with three degrees, MIT and Columbia training and decades in pharma and bioprocess optimisation. After seeing exhausted soils, weak crops and dubious carbon projects, he built METTA to combine living biology, rigorous experiments and digital twins so food becomes medicine again and carbon stays below ground.
The ability to draw on a wide range of skills and perspectives allows multi-disciplinary consulting firms to deliver solutions that are not only effective but also resilient to the dynamic nature of today's business landscape.

Now raising mission-aligned capital
Where we are
Pre-revenue, with strong PoC signals in trees, crops and fungi, multiple awards from EU and Asian bodies, and an international expert team ready to formalise once funding is secured.
What we're funding
A flagship rice greenhouse pilot, the first production-grade version of our digital twin, secure supply for our bio-activator blend, and 2–3 scalable project templates in trees and Hyperfood nodes.
Who we want onboard
Family offices, climate and food funds, and philanthropists who care about measurable nutrition and carbon outcomes—not quick flips. Investors comfortable with deep-tech timelines and real-world deployment.
Ready to talk specifics
If your thesis touches climate, food security or high-quality nature-based carbon, we're happy to share full pilot data, financial models and risk assumptions.
