Precision Breeding

In this episode of Agronomy Matters, Thomas Vaughan, Environment Manager at BASIS, is joined by Tom Allen-Stevens, Oxfordshire farmer and founder of BOFIN, and Dr Dylan Phillips, geneticist and lecturer at Aberystwyth University.

Together, they discuss precision breeding, a fast-developing area in UK farming. The conversation covers:

What precision breeding is, and how it differs from traditional genetic modification
The aims of the PROBITY project, the first European trial of precision-bred cereal crops on farms
How recent changes in UK legislation and government funding are supporting this work

What precision breeding could mean for farmers in terms of crop performance, sustainability and business resilience
How farm businesses can get involved in research and trials

Whether you're a farmer, adviser, or simply interested in agricultural innovation, this episode offers a practical look at where precision breeding is headed and why it matters now.
