Historical price data

Arcadia Biosciences is an agricultural biotech firm dedicated to improving human health and environmental sustainability through advanced crop science. Its core strategy involves developing proprietary seed traits for crops like wheat, soy, and hemp, with its flagship GoodWheat™ product designed to reduce net carbs and calories while increasing fiber and protein. The company operates as a public entity, commercializing its traits through licensing and direct product sales, and faces the dual challenge of scaling agricultural innovation while navigating complex regulatory and market adoption pathways.

Proprietary trait development and genome editing platform focused on creating non-GMO crops with enhanced nutritional profiles (e.g., reduced carbs, increased fiber) and agronomic sustainability traits (e.g., water use efficiency).

Total raised: $150M

Arcadia competes with large agricultural biotech firms (Bayer, Corteva) on trait development and with food ingredient companies on product innovation. Its differentiation lies in a dual focus on consumer health (nutrition) and agricultural sustainability, often using non-GMO techniques to develop traits for major food crops.
