According to the article published on December 3, 2025, Forbes Ecuador positions BioNaturaleza as an “emblematic example of how scientific research can turn into real solutions for the challenges of Ecuadorian agriculture.” (Forbes Ecuador)
From academia to the Ecuadorian fields
The story of BioNaturaleza began at the Escuela Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL), where its CEO and co-founder, Álvaro Torres, asked himself a fundamental question:
“Why do soils get sick if they should be the source of health for plants?”
This concern led him, in 2019, to found a laboratory focused on the study of beneficial microorganisms, with the conviction that biotechnology could replace the intensive use of agrochemicals and regenerate agricultural ecosystems sustainably.
From that laboratory, BioNaturaleza Biotech was born, a company that integrates biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to offer diagnostic and intelligent decision-making solutions, capable of teaching the soil how to think and recover naturally.
Science that impacts agriculture
In the note, Forbes highlights that the company not only develops intelligent bio-inputs, but is also committed to measuring soil functionality to understand how it is regenerating, under what conditions, and at what pace. (Forbes Ecuador)
Currently, BioNaturaleza Biotech works with banana and cocoa crops, supporting producers in Ecuador who seek to reduce the use of chemicals and enhance the biological life of the soil. Likewise, the company contemplates expanding its solutions to other areas, such as sugar cane. (Forbes Ecuador)
Growth and projection
The article also highlights the sustainable growth of BioNaturaleza: in 2025, the company closed the year with revenues exceeding US$ 100,000 and projects a growth of more than 20% for 2026, thanks to the combination of scientific research and technological solutions applied to the field.

An impact beyond the laboratory
For Forbes Ecuador, BioNaturaleza represents a reference of how academia can incubate technology companies with a real impact on society and the environment. This story not only reaffirms the potential of Ecuadorian agrotechs, but also the importance of linking science, innovation, and sustainable agriculture. (Forbes Ecuador).
BioNaturaleza continues working to demonstrate that a healthy soil is not the starting point, but the intelligence of the agricultural future.
