Native Traits, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is a genetic-trait developer focused on enhancing corn yield and resilience. The company's core mission is to leverage ancestral strains of corn to create varieties that are resistant to drought, temperature extremes, diseases, insects, and weeds. Their flagship product, EaSY, utilizes proprietary NT RECOVERY technology to develop these native genetic traits, offering an alternative to genetically-engineered (GMO) traits. Native Traits is currently negotiating licensing agreements with prominent seed companies to expand its market reach.

The company has attracted attention from notable investors and industry experts due to its innovative approach to agricultural biotechnology. Key achievements include the development and successful implementation of the EaSY technology, which has shown significant promise in increasing corn yield and resilience. Native Traits' impact on the agricultural sector is marked by its potential to reduce reliance on chemical inputs like herbicides and insecticides, thereby promoting more sustainable farming practices.
