ZeaKal is a biotechnology research company focused on developing plant traits that boost photosynthetic efficiency and carbon capture in staple crops. Its work aims to raise crop yield and improve nutritional composition, with downstream benefits such as better nutrition and potential cost efficiencies along the agricultural supply chain. In 2024 the company announced progress on its PhotoSeed technology, describing corn applications that enhance oil content and sustainability without sacrificing yield or protein. Its stated mission is to contribute to a more equitable and resilient agricultural system while reducing the overall environmental footprint of farming.

ZeaKal is based in San Diego, California, and operates with a relatively small team within the biotechnology landscape. It has pursued partnerships and licensing arrangements to advance commercialization of its traits, including collaborations with Nutrien Ag Solutions and licensing with the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council, along with a prior collaboration with Gro Alliance.
