St. Louis based food innovation company Benson Hill has launched a yellow pea breeding and commercialization program.
Benson Hill CEO Matt Crisp.
“We noted that this is the fastest growing alternative plant protein source,” he said. “It’s got some really unique characteristics, but it hasn’t really been advanced from a genetic standpoint.”
Crisp tells Brownfield the company is using Artificial Intelligence in its breeding program to better predict potential genetic advancements within the crop.
