- To enhance healthfulness of foods by creating crop plants and food products
that promote health, and by developing systems and methods that ensure
the safety of the food supply.
- To develop new food and industrial products using biotechnology to develop
improved, tailored agricultural crops and bioengineering to create new
products from agricultural crops and processing coproducts.
