During the next 20 years, with an expanding global population, improved
diets and rapidly growing energy demands, society will need to produce
plants enhanced for food, feed, fiber, energy and aesthetic benefit
without large increases in production acreage.
With the growth of energy production from agricultural feedstocks,
agricultural and energy supply chains serving the needs of a growing
carbohydrate economy are expected to become integrated.
Mendel Biotechnology's vision is that our knowledge about
regulation of plant gene and pathway function will enable accelerated
improvement in plant varieties, and the delivery of associated services,
to meet global agricultural and energy production needs.
Mendel is dedicated to being a premier biotechnology company serving
large agricultural companies with new genetic and chemical solutions
and to becoming
the leading seed and feedstock company serving the emerging cellulosic
biofuels industry.
