About
Taking a unique and powerful approach, Viridian Seeds uses its next generation computational breeding/ TILLING platform for generation of new improved lines of legumes that have lower carbon footprints (e.g. 50% reduction), higher yields, and improved nutritional characteristics.
We combine our skills in genetics, genomics (e.g. TILLING, Genome Editing and a combination of the two methods) and environmental footprinting to develop legumes to benefit farmers, consumers and the planet. Through our genomics assisted TILLING workflows we generate super-legumes that are non-GMO nature-based solutions to pressing sustainability challenges.
