A Progressive Food System Through Gene Editing

Mar 14, 2018

12:30pm – 1:30pm CT

Gene Editing can level the playing field to help transform our food system, empowering a robust community of innovators to tap the natural genetic diversity of plants and develop more nutrient-dense crops, scale local indoor agriculture, manage diseases with less pesticides and use natural resources more efficiently. How can we deploy this technology to empower progressive innovation, to align with consumer values and expectations of transparency and to create more opportunity for farmers?
