From testing to market, GM seeds require tremendous time and resources. GM seeds take 13 years and $130 million to develop. Once scientists find crop-improving genes, the process is multistep.

Plant breeding is ancient. To harness the plant’s genetic variety, farmers and scientists have bred drought-tolerant plants. In the 1980s, scientists used biotechnology to directly put beneficial genes into plants, enhancing food yields and efficiency. Genetic manipulation creates GMOs or GMO seeds (GM seed). These products have helped provide more robust, productive crops faster.

With our partnership we employ customized solutions to grow enough on each acre, reduce farming’s environmental effect, and enable smarter decision-making and more efficient farming. Our mission is to transform agriculture for farmers, consumers, and the planet by making our ideas available to farmers worldwide.
