RIPE field trials at the IGB BioEnergy Farm

Team members of the RIPE project transplanting seedlings for the 2016 field trials. RIPE is engineering crops that more efficiently turn the sun's energy into food. This project could increase yields by as much as 60% to help smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia feed their communities and provide for their families.
