Plastomics: Designing Better Crops to Help Farmers Feed the World

The products created during the first phase of the biotech revolution helped growers produce more food than ever before with less environmental impact. However, those engineering technologies were developed more than 20 years ago and can no longer keep up with the needs of today’s farmers. Plastomics’ platform technology provides solutions for the many current industry challenges: highly efficient trait stacking, decreased time and cost to market, more effective trait dose, simplified breeding, and elimination of outcrossing to weeds or neighboring fields. The result: higher yielding crops to meet the needs of a growing planet.
