Social
Accessible to all
Achieving the level of food system transformation that is required today means that climate smart agriculture solutions must reach all corners of the globe. As a Public Benefit Corporation, GreenLight Bio strives to provide farmers worldwide, including those in low- and middle-income countries, with solutions tailored to meet their needs, regardless of location or circumstances.
We aim to make RNA products more accessible to low- and middle-income countries and believe that local needs are best addressed when we partner locally from the very beginning of the product research and development process.
In our plant health development process, we are committed to engaging with local agencies, agricultural partners, and academic institutions to create solutions to protect regional crops from relevant pests.
We are establishing a global network of partnerships and workforce development to advance research and manufacturing of effective and selective solutions targeting local pests.
Global partnerships
We actively seek to partner with government, NGOs and companies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to advance equitable access to our solutions.
These partnerships aim to develop skills and capabilities to research, develop, make, and commercialize our agricultural solutions.
