Bayer CropScience Brings Biotech into Agriculture

Jamie Johansen

The grand opening of Bayer CropScience’s Greenhouse 5 brought many biotech industry stakeholders together to discuss the future of agriculture and biotechnology. Chuck met up with Gwyn Riddick, VP, Agricultural Biotechnology, North Carolina Biotechnology Center, to discuss what they do to bring more biotech to the world of agriculture.

“What we do is work to get more biotechnology in agriculture because for the future one of the big things is to be able to feed the world and fuel the world and heal the world. Agriculture plays a big role in this and is going to play a bigger role coming into the next 40 to 50 years, as its predicted that we’ve got to produce twice as much food to keep everyone alive. The Biotechnology Center is a economic development organization that brings together resources and people to solve problems like that.”
