The future of sustainable agriculture At its core, Phytoform’ s mission is threefold:
• Reduce the primary carbon emissions of agriculture by minimising inputs like fertiliser and fuel
• Limit environmental damage by reducing land use
• Support the sustainability of farming by improving farmer margins and making agriculture more attractive to new generations
Will and his team are acutely aware of the broader challenges:“ The average age of a farmer globally is 60. We want to develop technologies that benefit farmers, improve margins and allow them to focus on what they do best – without relying on heavy chemical inputs. Genetics is going to be a part of that solution.”
As the climate crisis intensifies, the need for resilient, resourceefficient crops has never been greater. Phytoform’ s blend of AI-driven discovery and precise genome editing offers a compelling vision for the future of sustainable agriculture – one where innovation not only feeds more people but does so with a lighter touch on the planet.
