We develop tools and technologies to optimise the production of high-quality plants and animals that earn maximum value with minimal harm to the environment.
We breed new varieties of animals and plants with improved production and quality traits, including understanding key genetics and designing systems that optimise their health and growth. We also develop tools and technologies to support sustainable management of farms, forests and orchards, optimising resources such as water and fertilisers, reducing harmful emissions and nutrient leaching, and improving efficiency.
