Company Summary

ATI applies a proven solution to food-sourcing problems due to ever-growing population, decreasing farmland availability, and climate change by increasing crop yields by at least 20%. Our broadly patent-protected technology modifies a fundamental genetic switch in crop plants, that also extends shelf life while increasing resistance to diseases and sublethal stresses such as drought, heat, cold, salt, low nutrients and crowding.
