We are modernizing quinoa breeding from the lab to the field
We are combining eco-phenotyping, remote sensing, and deep-sequencing technologies to build enormous datasets and advanced prediction models that describe how quinoa reacts across different cropping systems and stress factors. These modeling tools enable us to quickly design, select, and prototype the most optimal genetic lines for your target region.
From cutting-edge research to industry-leading varieties
Quinoa reimagined
We have barely scratched the surface of quinoa’s genetic potential. By 2030, we expect to double realized quinoa yields to make it a key component of your crop rotation.
Higher protein content
Quinoa's unparalleled amino acid score makes it an ideal crop as we transition towards plant-based diets. We're systematically selecting for increased protein content.F1 Hybrids
Hybrid vigor will open new avenues to push quinoa's yield potential beyond today's imagination. We are developing an F1 Hybrid quinoa platform to harness the potential of hybrid vigor.Improved disease and pest resistance
Seed quality
Saponin-free seeds with increased diameter (>2 mm) and a diverse range of colors
Higher & more stable productivity
Farmers need dependable varieties that consistently break yield records.
Optimum crop cycle
We are continually adapting our varieties to capture different growing windows. By improving early vigor and introducing heat tolerance we are expanding quinoa to new latitudes and climates.
Stronger stems for improved lodging tolerance

Nitrogen-use efficiency
Drought & salinity tolerance
Quinoa is strongly resilient to adverse conditions. It has enormous potential to grow in saline soils and dry climates where other crops don't survive.
