About Arcadia Biosciences

Arcadia Biosciences is an agricultural biotech firm with a mission to develop and commercialize food ingredients and crop traits that enhance human health and promote sustainable farming. Founded in 2002, the company has built a technology platform for non-GMO trait development, leading to its commercial GoodWheat™ ingredients and Zola coconut water brand. Its strategy involves licensing traits to seed companies and directly marketing value-added ingredients to food manufacturers, seeking to capture value across the supply chain. Despite its innovative portfolio, the company faces significant commercialization and scaling challenges in a competitive market.
