The world produces enough food to feed 10 billion people.
Yet 295 million go hungry. A third of every harvest is lost before it reaches anyone. The soil that sustains us is eroding faster than it regenerates. This is not a production failure. It is a failure of understanding — and that is exactly where we come in.
That's 1.3 billion tonnes per year — enough to feed every hungry person on Earth four times over.
Annual cost: $6–11 trillion. And we keep farming it anyway, adding more chemicals to land that has less to give.
Aquifers are depleting faster than they recharge. When the water runs out, the food runs out.
Carlos runs 12,000 hectares of corn. Last year his soil tests came back worse than ever. He was spending more on chemicals and getting less back. We showed him a simulation of his fields three seasons out. He didn’t like what he saw. Together, we redesigned his input strategy from the ground up. Chemical use dropped 61%. His yield held. His soil started coming back to life.
Global Food Insecurity
What Went Wrong
Genetic Diversity Collapse
Three-quarters of crop genetic diversity has been erased in the last century. We grow the same handful of varieties across entire continents — optimized for yield in perfect conditions, catastrophically vulnerable to change. When a new pathogen arrives, it doesn't face diversity. It faces a monoculture. And monocultures fall.
The Chemical Treadmill
Fertilizer use per hectare has quadrupled since 1964. Pesticide resistance is accelerating. Each year we need more chemicals to achieve the same result — while the soil biology that once provided natural fertility is systematically destroyed. We are running on a treadmill that speeds up every season.
Climate Feedback Loop
Agriculture produces 26% of global greenhouse emissions — then suffers the consequences of the climate change it helped create. Droughts destroy harvests. Floods wash away topsoil. Rising temperatures shift growing zones faster than farmers can adapt. The system is consuming itself.
Every Drop Computed
Agriculture consumes 72% of global freshwater. Aquifers that took millennia to fill are being drained in decades. The Ogallala Aquifer under the American Great Plains — the source of 30% of U.S. irrigation water — is depleting 12 times faster than it recharges. In India, 54% of groundwater wells are declining. When the water runs out, the food runs out.
We model plant-water relationships at the cellular level. Our systems simulate stomatal conductance, root hydraulic architecture, and soil moisture dynamics to design irrigation protocols that deliver precisely the amount of water each plant needs — and nothing more. Our digital twins of watershed systems predict drought impact years in advance, enabling preemptive strategy shifts instead of reactive crisis management.

Farming Redesigned from DNA Up
75% of crop genetic diversity has been erased in a century. The same handful of varieties are grown across entire continents — optimized for yield in perfect conditions, catastrophically vulnerable to change. We scan the full genomic landscape of crop species — including wild relatives and ancient cultivars industrial agriculture forgot — to design varieties computationally in months, not decades.
Molecular Crop Design
AI identifies traits for drought tolerance, pest resistance, and nutrient density across the complete proteome. A variety that takes 15 years to breed conventionally — we design, simulate, and validate in under 6 months.
Predictive Field Intelligence
We simulate crop performance under 47 climate scenarios simultaneously. Temperature, precipitation, pest migration, soil moisture — modeled at field resolution. Prescriptive intelligence delivered before the season begins.
Pest & Disease Interception
Molecular detection of plant stress signals weeks before visible damage. Our models predict outbreak trajectories and design biological countermeasures that eliminate the need for broad-spectrum pesticides.
Nutritional Optimization
Food is molecular information. We map complete nutritional profiles at the metabolomic level — thousands of bioactive compounds beyond macronutrients. Tomatoes optimized for lycopene. Wheat with enhanced iron bioavailability. Food that heals.
From Farm to Fork — Without the Loss
1.3 billion tonnes of food are lost or wasted every year — enough to feed every hungry person on Earth four times over. The problem is not production. It is the chain between harvest and consumption: inadequate cold storage, inefficient logistics, packaging that cannot communicate spoilage, and varieties bred for appearance rather than resilience.
We apply molecular analysis to post-harvest biology — predicting spoilage timelines for individual shipments, optimizing cold chain routing in real time, designing packaging materials that respond to decomposition signals, and engineering crop varieties with naturally extended shelf life. We model entire supply chains as biological systems, identifying the exact points where food is lost and designing molecular-level interventions to prevent it.
Rebuilding the Foundation of Life
A single gram of healthy soil contains up to 10 billion microorganisms across thousands of species. This invisible ecosystem makes agriculture possible — cycling nutrients, suppressing pathogens, retaining water, sequestering carbon. Industrial farming has systematically destroyed it. 1.7 billion hectares of land are now degraded. The annual economic cost: $6–11 trillion.
We build digital twins of soil microbiomes — modeling the relationships between bacteria, fungi, plant roots, and mineral cycles at molecular resolution. Our computationally optimized restoration protocols use microbial consortia, biochar formulations, and cover crop sequences. Results: degraded land recovered to 78% of reference ecosystem levels within a single growing season, validated across 14 field sites on 4 continents.
Compacted, depleted, chemically dependent. Less than 2% organic matter. Zero biological activity.
Recovery to reference ecosystem levels. Microbial diversity restored. Root network depth tripled.
Self-sustaining fertility. Carbon-negative. Chemical inputs eliminated. Yield exceeds pre-degradation levels.
Healthier Animals. Smarter Systems.
Livestock produces 14.5% of global greenhouse emissions and consumes one-third of all grain. Antibiotic resistance from industrial animal farming kills 1.27 million people per year. The current model is unsustainable — but the world's demand for animal protein continues to grow.
We model animal health at the genomic level — predicting disease outbreaks before they spread through herds, optimizing feed conversion efficiency to reduce waste, eliminating antibiotic dependence through molecular-level immune support, and designing breeding programs that produce resilient animals with lower environmental footprint. Every intervention is validated computationally before it reaches the farm.

Contamination Detected Before It Kills
600 million people fall ill from contaminated food every year. 420,000 die. Current testing catches contamination after it enters the supply chain — sometimes after it reaches the consumer. Our molecular detection systems identify pathogens, mycotoxins, pesticide residues, heavy metals, and allergens at concentrations invisible to conventional testing — in real time, at the source.
We don't just detect threats — we predict them. Our AI models pathogen evolution, anticipating which food safety risks will emerge next, where they will appear, and how they will spread. Prevention designed at the molecular level, deployed before the first case is reported.

From Soil to System
We operate across the entire food chain — not just one link.
A planet with limits demands a food system with intelligence.
Not more land. Not more chemicals.
