A Conversation About Innovation in Food & Agriculture
As the world’s population expands and its environment continues to change, natural resources will become increasingly scarce. But thanks to modern agricultural technology farmers can grow food more efficiently, in ways that use less water, soil, fertilizer and pesticides. These advancements have also made climate-resilient plants and disease-resistant animals a reality, allowing society to grow more food on less land, and create a more sustainable future for the planet.
As crops are planted and harvested annually, the black fertile layer can be lost from tilling and natural erosion from wind or rain. Gene editing can help.
Gene editing is a breakthrough solution that could help reduce and address the impacts of climate change.
Gene editing is transforming the industry.
A geneticist in Hawaii shares her plan to save the island’s native birds.
Thanks to innovation, scientists have created an American chestnut tree that is totally resistant to the blight that made the tree nearly extinct.
Scientists have discovered a way to grow seeds in high-saline conditions.
Accurate gene editing technology leaves “chance” in the past.
Although cereal crops face climate attacks every day, scientists have gene editing technology at their disposal to ensure we can feed 10 billion people in 2050.
As crops are planted and harvested annually, the black fertile layer can be lost from tilling and natural erosion from wind or rain. Gene editing can help.
Gene editing can support sustainability by helping farmers conserve water, enhance soil health, improve air quality, safeguard animals, and protect wildlife.
