Collaboration targets improved pasture performance and other benefits
Fonterra and BioLumic have partnered to bring light-activated seed traits to New Zealand dairy systems.
BioLumic, a pioneer in seed trait innovation, has entered a multi-year partnership with global dairy co-op Fonterra to develop a new category of seed traits for pasture-based dairy systems.
“This partnership signals a new era for forage innovation to supercharge pasture-based dairy systems,” said Jeremy Hill, chief science and technology officer at Fonterra.
- The partnership will deliver light-activated traits designed to improve the productivity and resilience of ryegrass, starting in New Zealand.
- Together, BioLumic and Fonterra are aiming to set a new standard for forage performance—unlocking greater productivity with technology that’s readily scalable.
