R2 Breeding Solutions -
Your Plant Breeding Co-Pilot
Our Mission
With stagnating yield gains, shrinking profit margins, and a climate that is rapidly changing, it is more important than ever that crop breeding programs can deliver varieties that ensure a sustainable production of plant based food, feed and fuel while maintaing cost efficiency.
To meet this goal, breeders today have access to a wealth of data-intensive predicitve breeding methods. Yet, understanding how to use these tools in practical breeding with all its inevitable real-world constraints - biological, logistical, and financial - requires expertise and experience. And, after 15+ years of developing and managing cost-efficient prediction-based breeding programs in a range of crops, this is exactly what R2 Breeding Solutions provides.
Our mission is simple: to make the power of data-driven predictive breeding accessible to any breeding program regardless of size, budget, or crop. Whether you are a major company with global reach, or a smaller business serving a regional market we can find a solution that fits your needs!
