InnerPlant is developing early-stress signaling capabilities in soybeans and corn. The concept is getting serious buy-in from big players in U.S. agriculture.
NGTs give us a chance to hit the reset button—and embrace a technology that can make agriculture more climate conscious, more sustainable, and more fruitful.
We suffer from food insecurity. It shouldn’t be this way. We should be a global breadbasket, not a hopeless continent now known for losing its youthful population dying in the Mediterranean trying to migrate to Europe.

Representatives from the U.S., Mexico and Canada will meet in Cancun, Mexico this week to discuss a series of disputes, including Mexican energy and biotech policies and Canadian dairy barriers.
