Project outputs generate a game-changing solution within the vastly underserved wheat market; a revolutionary approach vastly undercutting current GMO developmental timelines to help rapidly increase wheat yield output on less land. Wild's novel approach permits farmers to meet/improve crop quotas, allowing them to support wider sustainability practices associated with high intensity farming (soil regeneration/rewilding/greenhouse gas mitigation). Additionally, this project will springboard Wild's R&amp;amp;D development capabilities across various crop types, and enable them to accelerate trait development pipelines in key target crops and trait areas (such as specifically building resilience to climate change).</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
