Demeetra Agbio is a privately held agricultural and therapeutic gene-editing company. Based in Kentrucky, US, the company utilises its proprietary Cas-CLOVER platform to genetically modify plants for pharmaceutical use.

Demeetra Agbio's components are licensed to several companies including Sanofi and Poseida Therapeutics.
