Looking back over the past several decades, Ponsi Trivisvavet says genetic improvement has added less than 1% yield improvement per year for corn. She believes genetic improvement will have to occur much faster to meet expected future global demand for food and address the impact of climate change on farming.
Trivisvavet is the CEO of Inari, a private genetics company that believes incorporating new techniques in genetics and data management with traditional plant breeding will significantly impact how fast plant breeders can bring new, improved-yielding material to market.
