Innovative Genomics Institute
Innovative Genomics Institute, founded by Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna, is using genome engineering to solve humanity׳s greatest problems in climate and sustainable agriculture. IGI׳s genomic tools empower agriculture to capture excess carbon from the atmosphere, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve crop resilience to climate change.
Using genome engineering to solve humanity’s greatest problems in climate and sustainable agriculture. Let’s hack the DNA of climate change.

Why this matters
We believe that we can sustainably feed a growing population and continue the positive trends of reduced poverty around the world while solving the climate crisis. Innovative Genomics Institute is working toward a world where genomic technology is routinely applied to treat genetic disease, enable sustainable agriculture, and help achieve a carbon-neutral economy.

What you can do
One of the easiest ways you can personally help sustainable farming and food systems is to support producers who are actively working to reduce their climate and environmental impact. Producers need to know that adopting sustainable practices is a win-win. Learn more about CRISPR genome editing and its role in agriculture below.
