Yield10 expects to scale-up planted acres of Camelina to supply BioMar with oil for formulation and testing while also working towards securing regulatory approval for commercial production of Omega-3 Camelina oil and meal in the targeted production geographies. Producing omega-3 oil in Camelina represents a land-based way to make this key aquafeed ingredient, a crucial step as the aquaculture industry faces obstacles of overfishing. These new Omega-3 Camelina products contain EPA and DHA at levels comparable to many of the marine oil sources utilized today. 

In this episode, Dr. Peoples answered the questions:

• As an agricultural bioscience company, using its differentiated trait gene discovery platform to develop improved Camelina varieties for the production of proprietary seed products. What innovative technologies or approaches do you believe have the most transformative potential in the agricultural industry over the next decade, and how is your company positioned to leverage them? 
• Agriculture faces significant challenges related to sustainability, resource scarcity, and food security. How does your company address these global challenges through its products or services, and what impact do you hope to achieve?
• Innovation often requires collaboration across various industries and sectors. Can you share examples of successful partnerships or collaborations your company has engaged in to accelerate the adoption of ag tech solutions, and what lessons have you learned from these experiences?
