It monitors every movement automatically, flags problems in real time, and verifies equipment clean-out before shared machinery is used in other fields. The system is not built for perfect people. It’s built for the reality that no one is perfect.

Hardware on every piece of equipment. RFID beacons on every seed box. GPS telemetry every 30 to 90 seconds. GrainTrak doesn’t rely on manual logging or human compliance.

We built a full farm traceability system before our product is ready to scale commercially. 👉🏻Every field geofenced. 👉🏻Every piece of equipment logged. 👉🏻Every seed box tracked from delivery to planter.

Molecular farming is a broad term for a specific idea. Plants as production systems for proteins that have traditionally come from animals. Mozza's version of that idea is narrow and commercial. One protein. One market. One production system already operating at global scale.

👉🏻Five years of safety data. 👉🏻A full stewardship platform. 👉🏻Complete transparency with regulators from the beginning. That’s what serious development in this space looks like.

Regulatory processes for new food technologies exist for good reason. Our job as developers is not to find ways around them. It’s to prepare as good or better than anyone else who has gone through them before.

The regulatory pathway for molecular farming is hard, but it’s important and manageable for companies that integrate it into their product development cycle from day 1. 👉🏻We’ve been traversing it for 5 years and are on track.

Mozza works closely with the regulators to answer this question. The safety of our crops and our stewardship programs are supported by five years of data generated on top of the GrainTrak stewardship platform. 👉🏻We approach this analysis with complete transparency.

New agricultural biotechnology products enter the food system through a defined regulatory process. 🧵Thread on how that works and where Mozza sits within it.

At every stage: 👉🏻Identify the critical control points. 👉🏻Implement risk mitigation. 👉🏻Maintain traceability. 👉🏻Verify through independent audit. This is what responsible molecular farming development looks like at the industry level.

The APCS framework covers the full lifecycle of an animal protein crop. Lab. Field. Harvest. Transport. Processing. Discontinuation.

@AgFunder Thanks so much for the feature !

California-based molecular farming startup @mozzafoods aims to launch its first dairy proteins from soybeans in late 2028 pending approval from USDA to grow the GM crop and from FDA to sell the extracted casein proteins. #foodtech #agtech #dairy agfundernews.com/mozza-foods-ta…

@CIMMYT @iiTa One seed at a time is exactly how we think about it too! We’re developing soybeans that produce dairy casein protein inside the seed, using the same farming infrastructure that already operates at global scale. The next gen of agriculture is ingredient smart too.

From lab to land, and from seed to impact. Insights from @CIMMYT, @IITA & Seed Co are powering the next generation of climate-smart agriculture. The future of farming is being built, one seed, one researcher at a time. 🚜💡

@ippcnews @FAOPlants @FAOKnowledge @FAO Plants are already producing more than most people realise. Mozza is developing soybeans that grow dairy casein protein inside the seed. The future of food infrastructure is in the crop!

Can you imagine a world without plants? No food. No oxygen. No life. 🌱 Protect plants. Protect our future. 👉 Click here for more information: ippc.int/en/ #PlantHealthDay #ProtectOurPlants

@manuelacasasoli Soy's scale is exactly why we chose it. Mozza is developing soybeans that produce dairy casein protein inside the seed, the same protein dairy manufacturers already rely on, grown in a crop that already feeds the world.

The Global Stewardship Group's Animal Protein Crop Stewardship program. The first industry framework of its kind. 👉🏻Mozza is a founding member.

When you engineer crops that express animal proteins and allergens, the global grain system had no existing framework for managing them responsibly. Mozza recognized that gap. So we helped build the solution.

4. That is how you change an industry at scale. Not by replacing products. By replacing what they are made from.

3. The brand stays on the package. The ingredient changes inside.
