Cquesta, founded in 2022 in San Diego, is a climate tech company revolutionizing agriculture through gene-edited root systems that enhance soil health, boost crop resilience, and enable scalable carbon sequestration. Its proprietary technology allows farmers to generate carbon credits without altering core operations, supported by robust MRV systems and partnerships with major seed companies.

Focused on regenerative agriculture, Cquesta improves drought tolerance, reduces input needs, and promotes long-term soil carbon storage. It also empowers farmers with new income streams and raises awareness around sustainable practices. Future plans include expanding to key crops (sorghum, soybean, rice, corn), entering global markets, and exploring specialty products and by-product upcycling. As strategic shareholders, we back Cquesta’s mission to drive sustainable innovation and carbon drawdown—particularly across Africa and South America via Kielder Agro Group’s regional networks.
