## About

Based in Delaware, US, and co-founded by Casey Emmett (CEO), Jeremy Edelson (President), Craig Wilson (Advisor), and John Lundquist (Board Member) in 2020, The Crop Project operates as an agri-business company offering regenerative crops. In 2022, the firm raised USD 1.5 million in seed funding led by investor Norfolk Green Ventures, with participation from another investor Susquehanna Foundation.

The company supplies next-generation ingredients and regenerative crops. The Crop collaborates with growers along the Atlantic Coast to transform kelp into versatile ingredients for food, supplements, and skincare products. Kelp offers nutrient-dense consumable seaweed with various health benefits, and it also serves as a regenerative crop. The company’s US Grown Atlantic Kelp is carbon-neutral, capturing carbon dioxide, restoring ecosystems, and supporting coastal economies hence contributing to environmental preservation and sustainable agriculture. Additionally, Kelp aids in removing carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the ocean, making it a regenerative ingredient. Furthermore, The Crop Project enhances nutritional value, supports healthy skin, and reduces sodium content in consumable products.
