Consumption of fruits and vegetables – the most effective solution to malnutrition – can be limited by low production or high cost in some countries and by poor quality characteristics or inconvenient preparation in others.  Americans, for example, consume only half the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables despite widespread availability and high calorie diets.  Pairwise is using genome editing to address these challenges regionally and globally by making healthy food more convenient, affordable, and sustainable.  To fulfill this mission, we have assembled a world class portfolio of CRISPR editing technologies and a state-of-the-art R&D capability focused on delivering differentiated products to the fresh produce aisle.  With these tools we have made new fresh produce products in leafy greens and berries to increase the variety of nutritious fresh foods available for the consumer.  This presentation will describe the Pairwise vision to deliver new products in fresh produce, the development process for our products, and the technology platform that is making it possible.
