Laurence Berman
Chairman and Co-Founder
Having moved to rural England after years in real estate, finance and renewable energy ventures, Laurence began to explore how he could support more environmental farming solutions. Together with his business partner Lutz, Laurence was introduced to Ian Robertson, a highly regarded soil expert and true believer that biologicals were an important part of the solution to better farming. Soon after, Biolevel began to emerge as a business targeting the development and marketing of best-in-class bionutrition products based on Ian’s initial work.
Today, Laurence has many responsibilities at Biolevel, but his focus is on overall strategy, strategic partnerships, business and international development. He graduated with a Master of Science from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts from Williams College. He lives with his wife and three children on a small farm in Cotswolds, England.

Josh Seemann
Getting better bionutrition into the hands of growers
A graduate of agronomy and crop science, my passion for agriculture is deeply rooted. Over the past decade, I’ve held various sales and technical roles in the entrepreneurial agricultural sector, always focused on supporting farmers to become more sustainable, efficient and profitable.
I joined Biolevel as Business Development Manager in June 2024, where I am responsible for dealer and distributor strategy. Biolevel is a global biological nutrition company dedicated to developing and delivering a new generation of products that benefit farmers. My degree in agronomy and crop science helps me bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application, providing distributors and growers with informed, reliable, and sustainable solutions to improve crop yields and soil health.
I am passionate about supporting farmers to be efficient and profitable in all aspects of their operations, and I’m excited to be working with Biolevel as they continue to develop the most convenient and consistent bio-nutritional product range on the market.
When I’m not working I like to spend time with my family, and particularly enjoy my younger daughter Caitlyn’s baking and watching my older daughter Olivia compete on the volleyball court.
Madison Hoover
Sales Intern
Senior at Iowa State University | Agricultural Studies Major | Agronomy Minor | Professional Sales Certificate
I enjoy the dynamic environment that agriculture offers and the opportunity to build relationships driven by my passion for the industry. Currently, I’m in my senior year at Iowa State University, majoring in Agricultural Studies with a minor in Agronomy, while also pursuing a Professional Sales Certificate.
As a Sales Intern at Biolevel, I will be connecting with growers to share valuable insights about our products and their benefits. I thrive on fostering relationships and empowering others to succeed in their agricultural endeavors.
Marking a new era in biologicals
Biolevel is changing the biologicals industry to give farmers more consistent wins, year after year. Over more than 20 years of research and field trials, we identified and selectively bred native, beneficial microbial strains that work together to generate plant-available N, P, K and micronutrients from the soil. This platform allowed us to create and commercialize stress-tolerant biologicals proven to consistently boost plant vigor and yield, available on three continents so far. Together with our research and distribution partners like WinField United and Certis Belchim, we deliver the inputs to transform farmers’ ROI and sustainably meet the agricultural needs of a growing world.
