  • Proceeds Purposes
    Indigo is trying to first tackle abiotic stress, the type caused by environmental factors such as, say, insufficient water and salty soil. The company is specifically enhancing crops so they get the same yield with less water because most existing technologies are not very good at addressing this issue. In the future, Indigo will take on biotic stresses, which come from living things like weeds and insects.
