“Because of climate change and our growing global population, we need to have radical solutions as fast as possible. With AI-powered Predictive Design and Multiplex Gene Editing, this can be done.” That’s Emily Negrin, our VP of Corporate Affairs, speaking today at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. She joined Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Ambassador Michele Sison and industry experts to discuss how Inari and others in the private sector are working to combat the growing threat to food security driven by climate change. With the ability to design seeds that meet the world’s needs, Inari is uniquely positioned to help ensure food security for a rapidly growing global population, while better caring for our planet and improving farmer well-being through economically sustainable solutions. Thank you to Ambassadors Thomas-Greenfield and Sison for welcoming us to today’s enlightening conversation.

“Instead of carrying out a single gene edit at a time, multiplex gene editing allows multiple genes to be targeted all at once. This may be beneficial given the increasingly complex interrelations of climate threats, where a crop can be under multiple types of stress at the same time,” writes Christine Ro for BBC News. Read her full article for a fascinating look at the broad-ranging work being done to "disaster-proof" crops, including our efforts at Inari to help support a more sustainable global food system.

This #EarthDay, our head of sustainability Jamie Saxon found herself reflecting on events 80 years ago and the then seemingly insurmountable challenges of struggling wheat farmers in Mexico. In 1944, the country’s wheat supply was unable to support half its population. Just 12 years later, Mexico was fully self-sufficient with its wheat production. The difference-maker: incredible agricultural innovations. As Jamie writes, “it’s a good analogy for where I believe our world is in the fight against climate change: at times exasperated and overwhelmed, but also on the verge of significant progress. Another similarity: Agricultural innovation will again be critical to the solution.” Click through to read all of Jamie’s Earth Day 🌎 message: https://lnkd.in/ecThFE3f
