Acceleration Request

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) take appropriate action to declare the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-202124), as amended, effective at the “Requested Date” and “Requested Time” set forth above or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The Company hereby authorizes Karen A. Dempsey or Christopher J. Austin, both of whom are attorneys with the Company’s outside legal counsel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, to orally modify or withdraw this request for acceleration.  The Company also confirms that its prior request for acceleration that was submitted was orally withdrawn by Ms. Dempsey on May 12th at approximately 4:00 pm ET prior to the Staff declaring the Registration Statement effective.

In connection with this acceleration request, the Company hereby acknowledges that:

·                  should the Commission or the staff of the Commission, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

·                  the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

·                  the Company may not assert the staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Company requests that it be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Ms. Dempsey at (415) 773-4140, or in her absence, Mr. Austin at (212) 506-5234.
