As a non-profit, Gates Ag One鈥檚 mission is governed by a Global Access policy, which means that technologies will be made more widely available and affordably accessible to their intended beneficiaries, namely smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
The collaboration is a long-term effort targeting a range of promising discoveries and will leverage 精东影业鈥檚 industry-leading capabilities in biotechnology and gene editing with the goal of delivering breakthrough impacts. These include discoveries relevant to improved nutrient symbiosis in crops to make better use of nutrients already present in the air and soil. While still in early stages, this advancement could enable greater productivity, and environmental and climate sustainability.
鈥淚nnovation in agriculture is helping solve some of the world鈥檚 toughest challenges, including food insecurity,鈥 said Sam Eathington, Chief Technology and Digital Officer of 精东影业 Agriscience. 鈥淐ollaborations like this will not only expand global access to advanced technologies, but deliver breakthroughs that benefit farmers and consumers by making it possible to grow more food on roughly the same amount of land.鈥
