CRISPR, Genomics, and the Future of Food Security with Dr. Todd Jones

Discover the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR and genomics in solving one of the world’s most pressing issues: food insecurity. Dr. Todd Jones, Distinguished Laureate and leader of Ag Equity Initiatives at Corteva Agriscience, will guide you through the transformative power of genome editing technologies in revolutionizing agriculture.

In this engaging Cocktails & Conversations event, Dr. Jones will explore how CRISPR is being used to create climate-resilient crops and empower smallholder farmers in regions like Africa and the Global South. Drawing on his 35+ years of experience in plant biotechnology, he’ll discuss both the opportunities and challenges of implementing cutting-edge agricultural innovations in areas with limited resources.
