Humans have been breeding plants to their benefit for thousands of years. And while this has opened incredible frontiers in agriculture, traditional breeding practices remain gradual and labor-intensive. Given today’s dual pressures of climate change and a fast-growing global population, speed has become more important than ever.
The next wave of breeding technology is critical to our collective future. Powered by the convergence of major technological advances in A.I., genomics and gene editing, we are now able to breed much faster and far more precisely.
The result: Outcomes that previously would have taken as much as a decade to achieve are now accomplished in far less time and with far fewer resources.
See how these methods of breeding compare and why Inari’s SEEDesign™ technology is so revolutionary.
