DESCRIPTION

Gene editing in plants – it's been heralded as the next step-function change in the advancement of agriculture. One Indiana company is advancing the technology fresh off a $144 million venture capital raise. Claudia Nari, Chief Product Officer of Inari, joins today to talk through this historic time for gene editing and biotechnology at large. They get into:  


  • From speed to precision, Claudia lays out the differentiation of gene editing to other types of plant breeding 
  • Crops of focus for Inari right now and stresses they’re focused on to enable farmer success 
  • The company’s recent venture capital raise, their value proposition and educating investors 
  • Inari’s unique advantage (knowing what to do, having the tools to do it and being able to do those at the same time) 
  • The status of field trials and what commercialization will look like for Inari 
  • Biggest problems in-field to be solved through gene editing – from yield to resource efficiencies 
  • Regulatory hurdles and Claudia’s perspective on the acceptance of gene editing as a technology 
  • When will Inari technology be in customer fields? And what’s next?
