Azolla is a fast-growing aquatic fern that serves as a biofertilizer, particularly in rice fields, and contains cyanobacterium that helps it fix atmospheric nitrogen. Its popularity is increasing in countries like China, Indonesia, and India due to its ability to grow without soil and produce various products while capturing CO2. This makes it beneficial for agriculture and climate change mitigation.

12. Azolla is unique because it is one of
the fastest growing plants on the
planet – yet it does not need any soil
to grow.
• Unlike almost all other plants,
Azolla is able to get its nitrogen
fertilizer directly from the
atmosphere.
• That means that it is able to
produce biofertilizer, livestock
feed, food and biofuel exactly
where they are needed and, at
the same time, draw down large
amounts of CO2 from the
atmosphere, thus helping to
reduce the threat of climate
change.
