Inari is designing seeds to help address one of the greatest challenges of our times - growing enough nutritious calories for a growing population while reducing the footprint of agricultural production on the environment. Embracing the complexity and diversity of nature, we use our SEEDesignTM platform to overcome these challenges. Our platform integrates Predictive Design and advanced Multiplex Gene Editing tools to develop resilient seeds that require fewer natural resources and inputs, in a drastically shorter time and lower costs than current approaches. In Predictive Design, we harness the power of Artificial Intelligence and cell-based assays to gain a deep understanding of the sequence polymorphisms that underpin crop performance. Once the target sequences have been identified, we generate new allelic diversity using our comprehensive Multiplex Editing toolbox to deliver the changes into elite parental lines. We then provide our improved seeds to our customers through a simple and collaborative go-to-market strategy. Results and illustrations of our technical approaches and product concepts will be presented.
