Agricultural systems face enormous challenges in the coming decades as we encounter an expanding population and an increasingly volatile environment. The demand for food is expected to increase at least 50% by 2050. It is vital to enhance crop performance to realize higher yields from existing land in production. To aid in the discovery and evaluation of improved crop varieties, Corteva Agriscience is searching for novel predictive assays for crop yield or performance.
This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.
Over time, new innovations have been introduced into plant breeding to create the modern methods leveraged today. At Corteva, our goal is to develop effective, sustainable, and durable solutions to agricultural challenges. Driving genetic gain to help enable farmers to operate sustainably and profitably is core to delivering for our future. We invite public and private sector scientists to join our efforts by submitting a proposal describing a novel predictive assay for soybean production.
This is an Ideation Challenge, which has the following unique features:
There is a guaranteed award. The award(s) will be paid to the best submission(s) as solely determined by the Seeker. The total payout will be $15,000, with at least one award being no smaller than $5,000 and no award being smaller than $2,000.
The Solvers are not required to transfer exclusive intellectual property rights to the Seeker. Rather, by submitting a proposal, the Solver grants to the Seeker a royalty-free, perpetual and non-exclusive license to use any information included in this proposal, including for promotional purposes.
Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on November 14, 2022.
