A Platform to Rate Organisms Bred for Improved Trait & Yield

Introducing PROBITY

A Platform to Rate Organisms Bred for Improved Trait & Yield –

Led by the British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN), PROBITY is a three-year £2.2m multi-partner project, funded by Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme, which is delivered by Innovate UK.

The PROBITY project will see precision-bred crop varieties being grown by farmers for the first time in Europe. Three cereal varieties will be trialled and scrutinised by farmers, scientists and food manufacturers in an open and transparent forum.

What do you think about gene-editing and precision-bred crops? Do you have any questions or simply want to find out more? Join The Sequence Circle – the project’s Knowledge Hub – for access to resources and our discussion forum.
