Its family of ingredients FeedKind, FeedKind Net Zero, and Positive Protein targets animal nutrition with a focus on sustainability. The company's processes are powered by renewable energy and aim to preserve biodiversity while contributing to global water, energy, and food security. Headquartered in San Mateo, California, Calysta positions itself in the biotech space by supplying protein for animal-feed and pet-nutrition markets. It has pursued international expansion through collaborations such as Calysseo, a joint venture with Adisseo to scale FeedKind production in China.
