Welcome to Cayuga Genetics
Improving the nutritional quality of plants to improve the productivity of animal agriculture and enhance human health
Who We Are
Sustainable nutritious food for all
Cayuga Genetics is an Ithaca NY-based start-up focused on biofortification, enhancing the nutritional quality of crops like maize and wheat. Biofortified crops should enhance the efficiency of animal agriculture and differentiate our or our partners’ products. Our founder is a pioneer in biofortification, having improved the iron nutritional quality in maize by conventional breeding alone, validating this achievement with poultry feeding studies. We are an early stage company and seek investors, strategic partners, and to grow the founder team.
Biofortification
You are not what you eat, but instead what you don't excrete
At Cayuga Genetics, we believe that our solutions will soon become one of the biggest segments in the industry. We’ve only just started, but we already know that every product we build requires hard-earned skills, dedication and a daring attitude. Check back for updates as we grow.
