About
ZeaKal is a team of innovators committed to improving how we nourish and fuel the world
The name ZeaKal comes from our roots spanning New Zealand and California. Grounded in transformative science, our plant trait technologies have been proven to increase carbon capture, nutritional density, and nutrient use efficiency in plants. With nimble global operations spanning gene to field, we pioneer new tools to produce more sustainable and affordable nutrition and energy across the world’s most important crops.
Through our science and core principles, we have attracted leading industry collaborators and investors. Backed by a growing community of global partners, we are building a more equitable and resilient agricultural system on a smaller environmental footprint.
We believe access to food, nutrition, and energy is a basic human right. Producing it as sustainably as possible is the only way we can nourish the next generation and leave the world better than we found it.
ZeaKal’s Plant Trait Technology Crops
Energy Crops
The demand for sustainable fuels means agriculture and energy must work closely together. PhotoSeed can expand the global volume of oil production in seeds, grains, and biomass to accelerate the transition towards energy decarbonization.
Industry-defining capabilities
We innovate beyond science to rethink how the industry can respond to agriculture’s mightiest challenges.
Foundational Science
Grounded in innovation from leading plant science institutes, ZeaKal’s plant trait technologies increase the photosynthetic capacity of crops, which elevates value by improving composition (oil and protein) and sustainability (carbon intensity score) without compromising yield.
Integrated Partnerships
ZeaKal has partnerships throughout the agriculture supply chain spanning seed, agronomic support, processors, and end users. We invite new partners from complementary industries, like energy and food, to join our NewType supply chain.
Unique Business Model
We are creating a NewType of agriculture with an integrated supply chain that incentivizes collaborators to create more valuable crops and share that value with our growers.
