Chi Botanic is a cellular agriculture company that provides a synthetic biology pipeline to leverage the power of the plant cell.
Chi Botanic creates plant stem cells that we can grow into plant products and ingredients at industrial scale. We generate plant cell cultures representing just the parts or components that we want. Plant cell cultures grow much faster than whole plants. Also, while a fraction of a normal plant makes what we want, our entire cultures can synthesize the desired product. We can grow without the limitations of climate, weather, geography, or season and without fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides with far less water, energy, or shipping requirements to provide safer, and often enhanced natural productsWe make plant stem cells that we can grow into plant products and ingredients at industrial scale.
