Growers have been slow to adopt biologicals for a simple reason – they haven’t performed well in the field. The next generation of ag biologicals is changing this, and will offer growers sustainability benefits alongside breakthrough performance. growingproduce.com/crop-protectio…

“To handle increased food demand and navigate environmental threats in the coming years, the agriculture industry will need to embrace digitization—especially in underserved regions.” The need to embrace technology in agriculture has never been clearer. pitchbook.com/blog/agtech-an…

As technology enables us to engineer better performing crops, it’s essential that we welcome input from all stakeholders in the design process. The next generation of sustainable agricultural solutions should benefit every grower, everywhere. scientificamerican.com/article/design…

To deliver on the promise of climate-smart agriculture, we need leadership from the private and public sectors. Passing the Inflation Reduction Act – with nearly $40B for climate-smart ag initiatives – is a remarkable step forward for the industry. farmprogress.com/farm-policy/in…

The ag industry is turning to “deep technologies” like synthetic biology and AI to boost yields and lower emissions. We’re proud to be cited by Fortune as an example of how deep tech companies are tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges. fortune.com/2022/08/05/art…

An exciting development for climate-smart agriculture: rice that produces its own fertilizer. Researchers engineered "rice that encourages soil bacteria to fix nitrogen…[which] may reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizers needed to grow cereal crops.” genengnews.com/topics/genome-…

Can we engineer plants so they're better at photosynthesis? Yes! In another demonstration of biotech's ability to improve food systems, a recent study shows how we can increase the efficiency of photosynthesis – and boost soybean yields in the process. nytimes.com/2022/08/18/cli…

A timely reminder from nature that the soil microbiome is essential for healthy plants, crops, and humans. We expect more studies in the coming years to confirm how important soil microbes are to the health of all living things. nature.com/articles/s4157…

Scientists in academia, government & the private sector are exploring how #synbio can help create a more resilient agricultural system. The research happening at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Synthetic Biology Center is a powerful snapshot of synbio’s potential. technologyreview.com/2022/08/24/105…

Growers will soon have the financial support from Congress necessary to pursue sustainable practices at scale. We’re excited that the Inflation Reduction Act commits billions of dollars to climate-smart agricultural solutions. science.org/content/articl…

Biology will be a core part of our toolkit to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – great read by Bayer’s Matthias Berninger. The Bio Revolution is transforming agriculture & healthcare – and it’s just getting started. linkedin.com/pulse/biology-…

Synthetic biology grows in Australia! The New South Wales government is investing $6M in a new #synbio & biomanufacturing development program to improve access to manufacturing & production facilities, & equipment. nsw.gov.au/enterprise-inv…

Some major news for #agriculture and #biotech! The The White House announced an executive order to advance biotechnology and #biomanufacturing innovations for sustainable, safe, and secure agriculture, food security, climate change, and more. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Efforts to reduce chemical fertilizer-based emissions are picking up steam! A new report found Canadian farmers could see a 14% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogen fertilizer by 2030 with sustainable farming practices and new #agtech. reuters.com/business/susta…

We’re excited to see the The White House investing in #agtech to reduce the world’s carbon footprint! This month, Dept. of Agriculture announced they’re investing $2.8B in climate-smart projects to build and expand agriculture production. usda.gov/media/press-re…

Soaring fertilizer prices are speeding up the adoption of #agtech. The tools of synbio will play a key role in making sure the tools growers have are not only cost-effective, but also climate-smart. agfundernews.com/soaring-input-…

#Agtech will help revolutionize farming for growers across the world. Egypt’s age-old systems are being upgraded with services that offer weather forecasts, and advice on irrigation, fertilizers and market needs. qz.com/technology-is-…
