What benefits will wheat technologies – breeding or biotechnology – provide to farmers or consumers?
Given the geographies where wheat is grown, it is particularly challenged by the core issues of water availability, fertilizer efficiency and shrinking acres, and we believe we have the technology tools today to help wheat growers meaningfully address these challenges. By using approaches to more meaningfully address these challenges – whether that can be achieved through breeding or biotechnology – we believe wheat farmers can someday benefit through higher-yielding technologies that may contribute to a consistent supply, which, in turn, could also help stabilize prices for wheat buyers and consumers. We also believe investments in breeding and biotechnology are just one of the key tools to helping wheat researchers provide output traits that could someday deliver benefits all along the food supply chain including to millers, bakers and consumers alike.
