Innovation in genetic detection is giving farmers a better opportunity to claim premiums on their non-GMO crops. On this week’s episode of the Ag+Bio+Science podcast, AgriNovus Indiana Chief Executive Officer Mitch Frazier talks to Ryan Skaar, chief operating officer of NanoBio Designs in Indianapolis.
The company aims to speed up the process of genetic detection in grain while maintaining the accuracy of the current process, which can take around a week, using a unique process involving nanoparticles.
NanoBio Designs recently relocated to Indy from Iowa and Skaar says the Hoosier State provides support not only for the problem the company is trying to solve, but also the company itself.
In this week’s podcast, Skaar talks about the company’s move to Indy, the similarities of genetic detection to testing for COVID-19, and the widespread impact NanoBoi’s innovation could have for farmers and consumers in the future.
