How is Pairwise using CRISPR to develop new crops?
Pairwise uses the Fulcrum® Platform in a structured, iterative process: evaluate the market, analyze the trait mechanism, create prototypes, choose the final variation, then apply the learning to the next crop.

How is Pairwise using CRISPR to develop new crops?+
Pairwise uses the Fulcrum® Platform in a structured, iterative process: evaluate the market, analyze the trait mechanism, create prototypes, choose the final variation, then apply the learning to the next crop.
Is CRISPR-edited food safe to eat?+
Products developed with the Fulcrum® Platform go through the same regulatory review as other gene-edited foods, which evaluates their safety before they reach consumers.
Can CRISPR help reduce food waste?+
Traits like seedless and pitless fruit and more efficient harvesting, developed on the Fulcrum® Platform, can reduce waste in processing and make fruit easier to enjoy.
Can CRISPR improve the taste and quality of food?+
Yes. The Fulcrum® Platform has been used to create consumer-focused products such as consistently sweet seedless blackberries and nutrient-dense leafy greens without the typical pungency.
Can CRISPR make crops more resilient to climate change?+
Yes. Traits developed on the Fulcrum® Platform, such as short-stature corn and improved disease tolerance, help crops perform under increasingly unpredictable growing conditions.
What are the benefits of CRISPR for agriculture?+
The Fulcrum® Platform can compress trait development from more than 15 years to months, bringing validated, high-performing traits to partners at unprecedented speed.
Pairwise is pioneering the application of CRISPR technology in food and agriculture.
