What used to be, you know, a seven to thirteen year cycle, you can actually do a 100 times better than that by doing precision gene editing in a year, and in biologics, there's so many products that seem to have extraordinary potential at replacing traditional inputs, biopesticides, bio fertilizers,” — Future of Agriculture Wed, 11 Sep 2024 02:49:00 +0000 gene editing Friedberg reports seeing 50% per-acre yield increases in plants by simply turning genes on or off. https://minutesof.com/q/b729cfa7-fed2-4fa8-80e6-f100123c4820/ https://minutesof.com/q/b729cfa7-fed2-4fa8-80e6-f100123c4820/ “having seen how turning certain genes on or off in a plant can extraordinarily expand the productivity of that plant and increase farmers' yields by 50% per acre, by just turning a gene off.” — Future of Agriculture Wed, 11 Sep 2024 02:49:00 +0000 gene editing Friedberg says turning genes on or off can increase farmer yields by 50% per acre, capabilities impossible ten https://minutesof.com/q/caf2c067-519d-4b3b-882b-bd255945ac81/ https://minutesof.com/q/caf2c067-519d-4b3b-882b-bd255945ac81/ “It really is astounding what we can do today that we literally couldn't do ten years ago.” — Future of Agriculture Wed, 11 Sep 2024 02:49:00 +0000 gene editing Friedberg says Ohalo has proven theorized gene editing approach to dramatically increase crop yields. https://minutesof.com/q/9a7bca85-7508-4cb5-80be-fedbe5e1e5ad/ https://minutesof.com/q/9a7bca85-7508-4cb5-80be-fedbe5e1e5ad/ “And then seeing this outcome that we had theorized, all of that has now been proven with this business.” — How I Invest Podcast Tue, 09 Jan 2024 04:38:21 +0000 gene editing Friedberg claims precision gene editing can achieve plant breeding outcomes 100 times faster than traditional https://minutesof.com/q/95dc320e-8c92-4968-9464-16afd34cafa4/ https://minutesof.com/q/95dc320e-8c92-4968-9464-16afd34cafa4/ “What used to be, you know, a seven to thirteen year cycle, you can actually do a 100 times better than that by doing precision gene editing in a year.” — AgFunder Mon, 02 Oct 2023 13:03:03 +0000 gene editing Friedberg predicts eradication of all infectious disease within twenty years if regulation permits it. https://minutesof.com/q/2c4a1208-09fa-4386-9814-e5a1f87610f1/ https://minutesof.com/q/2c4a1208-09fa-4386-9814-e5a1f87610f1/ “I think in twenty years we could kind of eradicate all infectious disease. The only thing holding that up is regulation because the science is known, the engineering is basically there.” — All-In Podcast Thu, 21 May 2020 05:18:18 +0000 gene editing
