Inari: Creating Personalized Seeds for Farmers
Inari is building what it calls the world’s first “Seed Foundry,” a technique that starts by inputting every detail about a grower’s local environment and determining the genetic traits that would best help a crop succeed there. Then, the company breaks down the genes themselves and, using CRISPR gene editing technology, alters the crop’s genetic sequence directly in order to achieve those desired traits. Through this transformational plant breeding technology, Inari is creating a new horizon in agriculture that is more predictive, efficient, affordable, inclusive, and respectful of the environment.
