Inari Agriculture
Company Overview
Inari is Addressing Industry Challenges
Seeds determine the inherent potential of our food system, impacting a farm’s productivity and its
environmental footprint. Today the $55bn seeds industry is dominated by a small number of companies.
This has limited choice, reduced genetic diversity, created more fragile and resource intensive crops,
and delivered <1% yield increase per year.
Inari’s Seed Foundry™
The Seed Foundry is powered by Inari’s plant science and technology platforms. Through it we are
looking at nature’s genetic diversity to produce high-performance seeds that require fewer resources.
Our Seed Foundry can produce new seeds at 1/3 of current industry time and 10% of the costs.
