Metabolix launched Yield10 Bioscience late last year as a way to resource our crop science activity separately from our specialty biopolymers business. Yield10 is focused on global food security, as food production must be increased by an estimated 70% in the next 35 years to feed the growing global population which is expected to increase from 7 to 9.6 billion by 2050. Recent studies show that traditional crop breeding is unlikely to solve this problem. Rather, our Yield10 team believes technologies which enable simultaneous changes in complex gene systems to achieve step changes in seed yield are required. New data from our lead yield technologies provide strong support for this view. Continue reading
