By focusing on nematodes — the best indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem services — and taking a holistic view of both crops and soil, Antonie is building the tools to transform how we manage agriculture and land. Just as telescopes opened our eyes to the cosmos, we are opening a new window into the living universe beneath our feet.

Our name honors Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the Dutch pioneer who, in the 17th century, was the first to describe nematodes through the microscope he built himself. His curiosity reshaped science. We continue in that spirit — using modern technology to make the invisible visible, empowering farmers, agri-labs, seed breeders, and society to safeguard ecosystems and sustain life for generations.
