Friedberg developed boosted breeding to enable true seed propagation in crops currently using vegetative propagation.
“We've developed a new system of of breeding that we call boosted breeding that really changes how we do breeding, the pace of gains, and also allows for true seed propagation in plants where we're typically doing vegetative propagation where there isn't a seed business today.”
Friedberg's boosted breeding system enables true seed propagation in crops that currently rely on vegetative propagation, unlocking yield gains.
“So it unlocks a significant yield gain and it creates new opportunities for creating seed products in markets where it doesn't exist.”
