GigaCrop

GigaCrop is an agricultural biotechnology company engineering the photosynthesis pathway to dramatically increase crop productivity. Founded by Chris Eiben, PhD, the company combines enzyme engineering and machine learning to optimize the RuBisCo enzyme, aiming to roughly double yields in staple crops such as corn and soy and to break past the limits that have held annual yield gains near one percent for a century. Backed by Playground Global, GigaCrop is working to make agriculture both more sustainable and more abundant.

GigaCrop is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Engineered Biology, Agriculture, Biotechnology, and AgTech.
