Description

Making potatoes and other crops more resistant to climate change and growing them faster using gene-editing techniques is the challenge ClimateCrop is looking to solve over coming years,  said Yehuda Borenstein, founder of ClimateCrop.“We have an opportunity to upgrade plants and give them more resilience without a lot of investment in capex which is quite rare when you fight climate. Usually, you fight climate with capex,” Borenstein said.For many listeners, this surely raises ethical concerns, but Borenstein said the company works outside the GMO sphere. “We are only cutting a certain area in the DNA. So we don’t introduce any foreign DNA,” Borenstein said.Learn more about:How to tweak photosynthesis Which crops ClimateCrop can fix? Which are the first in line? In the NatureBacked podcast of Single.Earth, we are talking with investors and entrepreneurs about their vision of the new green world.Advertisers in this episode:Follow NatureBacked across platforms:Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google PodcastsTwitter | Instagram
