## About

Based in Missouri, US, and founded in 2017, Impetus Agriculture operates as an agriculture company that creates proteins that boost crop yields by combining plant antibodies with tools made to keep crops safe from pests. In June 2021, Impetus Agriculture raised USD 1 million in seed funding co-led by BioGenerator and The Yield Lab, etc

Impetus Agriculture is a platform of bi-specific plant-based proteins created to protect plants from harmful insects. The company provides proteins that increase crop yield by linking antibodies found within plant bodies using Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) technology, allowing farmers to grow food crops that will combat the growing number of insects resistant to current commercial products and increase product durability.

The company plans to use the June 2021 funding to help test more proteins and insects with its Impetus library of new topical and transgenic insect control products.
