Engineering food for
today, not just the future.

We use AI and protein science to discover and engineer disease-resistant crop varieties. Non-GMO. From genome to field.

The problem

Plant disease is the largest unresolved threat to global food security.

Chemical pesticides are losing effectiveness. Traditional breeding takes decades. The world needs a way to engineer crop immunity that is fast, precise, and doesn't require genetic modification.
