A Danish academic and industry initiative is focused on using genomics research into the potato to develop the potato plant into “a high-efficient, low-maintenance and multipurpose crop” for both food and energy production, CLC Bio, one of the partners in the initiative, said today.
The company said the project is centered on the potato because it produces twice the amount of energy per area as maize or wheat, “making it ideal for energy and food production.”
In addition to CLC Bio, the partnership includes the Institute of Food and Resource Economics and the Department of Plant Biology at Copenhagen University;Aarhus University;Aalborg University;Landbrugets Kartoffelfond;Andelskartoffelmelsfabrikken Vendsyssel;Kartoffelmelscentralen (KMC).
