I'm going to write a diet book called "The REAL Paleo" and it'll be advice on stalking, hunting, and butchering your still-warm prey while trying not to die of scurvy or starve to death
Great story from one of our #Tomatosphere students. Bryce has done amazing things since starting the project 2 years ago. Inspiration comes in many forms and it sometimes starts with a tiny #seed. Great job, Bryce! https://t.co/kGTTJpj1yN
We're on the cusp of seeing amazing breakthroughs using #CRISPR gene editing to cure debilitating diseases in humans & animals. Can we do the same for plants? This might be Florida's citrus industry's best hope. @UF_IFAS@CropLifeIntl#ModernAg#JustGrowIt https://t.co/kphAH8JyBQ
With CRISPR gene editing, scientists can solve some of the world's most pressing agricultural problems more quickly and effectively than with traditional breeding. https://t.co/hQ3GrV0uTF #JustGrowIt
Bill Gates: "Gene editing holds the potential to save millions of lives and empower millions of people to lift themselves out of poverty. It would be a tragedy to pass up the opportunity." #JustGrowIt https://t.co/sM0x7sAJ5M
Bread and chocolate. They're two of the foods that could benefit from CRISPR plant breeding, as scientists develop wheat and cocoa plants resistant to disease through gene editing. https://t.co/8oMyNvLC5S #JustGrowIt
We all need it to live, and most of us take it for granted: water. On this #WorldWaterDay, we're thankful for scientists developing new solutions to enhance water efficiency in agriculture through plant breeding innovation: https://t.co/nqrLoMRZaw #JustGrowIt
As in every industry, the technologies in plant breeding continue to evolve, producing better results and fewer environmental impacts. What does the future of plant breeding look like? The possibilities are endless: https://t.co/E2TYOUwva4 #JustGrowIt
Happy National #AgWeek! In less than 100 years, US farmers have gone from producing only enough to feed four people to producing enough to feed 160 people. Over the years, we've innovated better practices and better plants to produce more abundant, high-quality food. #JustGrowIt
Some bags of seed contain treated seed that is more resistant to pests and diseases, making farming more efficient and sustainable. Learn more at https://t.co/4IViMEU49t. #JustGrowIt
Farmers need many tools, including seed treatments and biotech seeds, in their toolboxes to produce crops efficiently and sustainably. Learn more: https://t.co/GVGBaDZNwH #JustGrowIt
#NAFTA withdrawal would result in job loss, decreased exports and output declines. Modernization is important, but withdrawal or weakening the agreement would cause harm. Learn more: https://t.co/Q2UWFx2d0k #NAFTAWorks
