61. Developing New Produce for Consumer Delight and Nutrition

Some of the most nutritious food on Earth is unfortunately some of the toughest produce to grow.  

With the help of Joyce Van Eck, Associate Professor at Boyce Thompson Institute, the practice of gene editing in crops is better understood by farmers and other growers to increase production and access to highly nutritious crops.  

Join us as we discuss:

• Plant biotechnology and bringing gene editing to our food
• Studying plant genes to improve crop growth 
• Boyce Thompson Institute’s physalis improvement project 
• Understanding CRISPR to fast track domestication of crops and helping combat climate change
