Resilient crops
through data-driven design
CropXR is an institute based in the Netherlands dedicated to developing more resilient crops through innovative ‘smart breeding’. Its mission is ambitious:
Through a solid foundation of Dutch plant biology, agricultural sciences, and plant breeding, the institute adds an integrated layer of experimental research, artificial intelligence and computational modelling. The goal is to develop technology and methods to generate new crop varieties that are better adjusted to climate change and less dependent on harmful agricultural interventions.
