Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture Projects
Improve Crop Yields Through Advanced Precision Breeding
Reduce the footprint of agriculture on the planet by generating high-yielding crop plants that thrive in diverse agricultural systems.
Project Examples:
- Develop plants that are better at turning sunlight and CO2 into biomass and grain by improving photosynthesis using advanced genome editing techniques.
- Alter plant architecture and physiology to optimise growth and enhance yield in indoor agricultural systems.
- Develop plants that use less water, are more efficient at obtaining nutrients from the soil, and produce less waste material.
