Ohalo

At Ohalo Genetics, we are fundamentally rewriting the rules of agriculture through our revolutionary 'Boosted Breeding' technology. By unlocking nature's potential, we are addressing one of the most critical challenges of our time: sustainably feeding a growing global population. Our groundbreaking approach leverages advanced gene editing, specifically CRISPR, and quantitative genomics to alter the reproductive circuits of plants. This innovation allows parent plants to pass their entire genome to their offspring—rather than a random half—resulting in 'Boosted' plants that possess enhanced genetic diversity and superior traits. This method achieves in years what traditional breeding has struggled to accomplish over millennia.

We are pioneering a new era of crop production, starting with the transformation of the potato industry. For the first time in history, we have made it possible to produce uniform true potato seeds, eliminating the reliance on disease-prone tubers and unlocking unprecedented agronomic performance. Our technology is not limited to a single crop; we are actively expanding our 'Boosted Breeding' platform to strawberries, almonds, and other vital crops. By integrating molecular biology, data science, and automation, Ohalo is building the factory of the future for biology, delivering higher yields, improved disease resistance, and greater resilience to environmental stressors, all while reducing the global footprint of agriculture.
