Partnership to Enhance Pasture Performance

Fonterra and BioLumic have formed a multi-year partnership to develop light-activated seed traits for pasture-based dairy systems in New Zealand.

The collaboration aims to improve the productivity and resilience of ryegrass through traits that program the plant's genetic expression without altering its genetics.

"This partnership signals a new era for forage innovation to supercharge pasture-based dairy systems," said Jeremy Hill, chief science and technology officer at Fonterra.
