A Century of Progress, From a Single Invention

Crop yields have improved just ~1% annually for the past 100 years. GigaCrop can deliver 2x yield gains —a step-change delivering a century of progress without the wait.
The Breakthrough

Traditional crop improvement methods are too slow to meet rising global demand.

The slowest photosynthesis enzyme, RuBisCo, fundamentally sets the ceiling for all plant productivity. By combining enzyme engineering, and machine learning, GigaCrop is rewiring photosynthesis to avoid the RuBisCo bottleneck entirely. Relegating RuBisCo to the past is why GigaCrop can double yields across major crops like corn and soy, while other companies cannot.
