Gene editing meets your fruit bowl: Bananas that stay fresh longer, with a small gene edit, which is approved for sale in the U.S., Canada, and more.
Scientists have developed a non-browning banana that stays fresh longer, helping reduce food waste: one of the biggest strains on our environment.
This is just one example of how innovation is delivering everyday benefits for a growing population.

Scientists Engineered a Longer-Lasting Banana — and It’s Hitting Store Shelves SoonA third of harvested bananas never get eaten, but a new gene-edited variety could change that. Scientists used CRISPR to extend the fruit’s freshness, giving consumers and business

Smoother farrowing, fewer interventions 
Thanks to strong structure and calm behaviour, PIC sows reduce complications: less stress, fewer crushings, and more viable piglets from birth. 
Discover how PIC makes farrowing easier Camborough®The Camborough® is the ideal choice for producers who need an efficient, high performing sow that yields more uniform pigs with heavier weights in all conditions.

Healthier pigs, healthier planet.
A new European Life Cycle Assessment confirms that a full program PIC pig (sire + dam) delivers a 7.7% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to the industry average.
As the FAO recently reported, 'improved genetics is one of the biggest opportunity for sustainably increasing productivity and decreasing GHG emissions in the livestock sector.
From innovations like our PRRS-resistant pig to continuous efficiency gains in our breeding lines, genetics are a powerful tool for building a more sustainable pork supply chain.

Why are we talking about gene editing?
Because it’s one of the most important innovations shaping the future of agriculture, food and human health.
At PIC, we believe in its potential: our FDA-approved gene edit breeds pigs that are resistant to PRRS, one of the industry’s costliest diseases. This breakthrough shows how precise science can eliminate disease and deliver healthier animals, reduce the need for antibiotics, and create more sustainable pork production.
But gene editing doesn’t stop there. From improving crops to advancing nutrition and even treating disease, it’s changing how we address challenges in animal health, the environment and feeding a growing population.
This post is the start of a new series where we’ll explore some gene editing advances and what they mean for producers, veterinarians and consumers.

Predictable cycles = fewer delays
PIC females cycle earlier and show clearer heat signs — supporting better planning, fewer rebreeds and £35–40 in feed savings per gilt. Even less experienced staff can manage breeding with confidence.

Fewer piglet transfers, more time saved Over 98% of Camborough and X54 gilts now have ≥14 functional teats — improving natural litter fit and reducing the need for fostering. That means better biosecurity, stronger starts, and up to 3 hours saved per 100 sows each week.
