THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE
With climate change, insect resistance to pesticides, honeybee colony collapse and more, crops face an increasing number of threats. We’re helping them fight back.PROTECTING CROPS IN A CHANGING WORLD
Traditional pesticides are proving ineffective against new generations of pests and can have a harmful impact on the environment. We’re working on innovative solutions to solve the emerging challenges crops face.
Our goal: enable farmers to increase yield and reduce the environmental damage caused by traditional pesticides. Today we are actively discovering and bringing to market the next generation of crop-protection products using the power of biology. Using our high throughput platform and industry-leading genomic library, we are developing solutions from the vast dark matter of protein diversity nature has to offer.
