A Conversation About Innovation in Food & Agriculture
Recent innovations in gene editing can save crops like oranges, cocoa beans and coffee beans from harmful diseases that have the potential to render them extinct. By embracing this technology, society can ensure that generations to come will still be able to enjoy our favorite foods — and increase access to affordable, nutritious food worldwide.
But come September, New York City will be privy to the most transformative menu yet—and at the hand of a surprising source, no less: The United Nations.
From pest and disease resistance to improved animal health, here are 11 awesome benefits of agriculture gene editing
PB&J is iconic. Unfortunately, there are millions of people who suffer from sensitivities to peanuts or wheat products. Here is how gene editing can help.
Thanks to Sanatech's tomatoes, doctors might soon prescribe salsa, Caprese salad, or fresh bruschetta as means for lowering blood pressure and staying healthy.
Besides being cold-weather recipe favorites, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava have something else is common. All of them can benefit from gene editing.
Plants and crops are vulnerable to two related threats: climate change and the rapid spread of insects due to warming temperatures.
Scientists can use gene editing to develop climate-friendly crops.
Small changes to plants’ DNA could help reduce food waste and fight climate change.
Better genetic understanding could lead to stronger, healthier varieties
