A leading agricultural biotech company using non-GMO precision gene-editing technology to reshape crop protection.
About us
Overview: Cibus is part of the multi-billion-dollar plant seed industry. Cibus leads the new era of high throughput gene editing technology that can develop plant traits precisely at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional breeding. Cibus is not a seed company. We are a technology company that uses gene editing to develop plant traits. Cibus licenses its traits to seed companies for royalties on seeds that use its traits. Cibus’ target market is Productivity Traits” that improve yields, lower input costs such as chemicals and increase the sustainability and profitability of farming. We have a pipeline of six productivity traits including traits for pod shatter reduction, disease resistance and nutrient use efficiency. Cibus' focus is multi-crop traits for the major crops: canola, rice, soybean, wheat, and corn. In other words, traits that can impact global agriculture sustainability at scale. Technology: Gene editing in agriculture is a plant breeding technology. The promise of gene editing in agriculture is the ability to develop plant traits that are indistinguishable from traits developed using conventional breeding but can be developed at a fraction of the time and cost. To many, gene editing represents agriculture’s “analog to digital” technology moment. It is a technology that changes the speed and scale of trait development. Cibus is at the forefront of this technology moment. Our Rapid Trait Development System™ (RTDS®) and Trait Machine™ process represents the first end-to-end semi-automated plant breeding system. Vision: Cibus’ vision is to be a pure play trait developer; a technology company whose business is to develop and license plant traits to seed companies in exchange for royalties. The licensing of plant traits and germplasm with quantifiable benefits and strong intellectual property is an integral part of the seed industry. Our goal is to be a leader in this segment of the seed industry.

Cibus is proud to be a part of the leading sector in CO2 emissions reductions. But, of course, we have a long way to go to meet our global climate goals. We're working hard every day to help agriculture make much-needed strides to reduce emissions and improve efficiency, helping farmers do more with less. You can read more about the EPA's recent report and the strides agriculture is making to reduce emissions via Danny Munch for American Farm Bureau Federation here: https://lnkd.in/g8C7SY7Y

“This development continues the positive global momentum with more and more governments regulating products from gene editing like those developed through conventional breeding techniques. We are encouraged to see jurisdictions like Canada, the United Kingdom, European Union and others put forward guidelines and legislation that recognize technological advancements like Cibus' RTDS Trait Machine as equivalent to conventional breeding in terms of safety,” said Norm Sissons, Cibus Senior Vice President, Seeds & Traits.

"Living organisms and nature-identical substances can help improve crop protection management and support plants throughout their life cycle, while contributing to a more sustainable, greener future, by leveraging the potential of nature’s own tools." New Genomic Techniques, such as Cibus’ Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS®), are among the biosolutions that can build the future of sustainable agriculture in Europe, writes Brian Maguire in Euractiv. #ngts #biosolutions #sustainableagriculture #europeanagriculture #seedbreeding ##plantgenomics https://lnkd.in/gxDihPq4

Cibus applauds the publication of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's feed guidance for gene edited plants - adding Canada to a growing list of countries that will regulate traits developed using Cibus’ Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS®) similar to conventional breeding. #ngts #plantbreeding #geneediting #canadianagregulation #agricultureregulations #sustainableag
CropLife Canada welcomes the long-awaited completion of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada | Santé Canada's comprehensive review and update of policy guidance related to plant breeding innovation in Canada. This coordinated guidance helps to create a clear, predictable and science-based regulatory system that stands to make Canada a world leader in attracting investment and innovation in plant breeding. These updates provide a clear path for much-needed investment in new made-in-Canada crop varieties through methods like gene editing, to ensure farmers have the tools they need to improve their productivity while reducing their impact on the environment. Canadian agriculture, supported by innovation, stands to play a significant role in helping Canada achieve its economic, environmental and social goals. The time is now for Canada to elevate the importance of agricultural innovation as a driver of prosperity for Canadians. #CdnAg #Innovation #GeneEditing https://lnkd.in/ehzSkgEr

"While the problems involved in creating more sustainable food systems may...be large in size, they are not insurmountable. In fact, there are many approaches to solving them." In his latest article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists executive editor Dan Drollette discusses the role of gene editing as part of a holistic approach to building more sustainable food systems. https://lnkd.in/e_FZJP5i #geneediting #ngts #sustianableagriculture #foodsecurity
