: farm management practices that restore soil health, encourage biodiversity, safeguard water resources, and increase climate resilience while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing productivity and profitability

: greenhouse gas emissions from sources not owned or controlled by an organization, occurring upstream or downstream in its supply chain

: a type of mathematical system, inspired by the network of neurons of the human brain, that finds statistical patterns in very large datasets to predict and generate the most probable content following an initial prompt

: protecting, maintaining, or improving people's health before they get sick by providing interventions targeted to pre-disease states for those that are seemingly healthy but at risk

: the accumulated hours of cool winter temperatures that certain fruit and nut trees need during dormancy to prepare for flowering and fruiting in the spring and summer

: the use of vast computational power to create biological designs with desired properties by inferring the principals of biology from large datasets

: an artificial intelligence (AI) training technique based on trial and error that uses positive and negative feedback to teach the AI to perform a desired task in accordance with maximizing positive feedback

: growing practices that protect, maintain, and enhance ecosystems

: a level of intelligence that surpasses the existing intellect of both humans and nature and leverages the full spectrum of human scientific knowledge and the adaptive intelligence derived from nature's evolutionary processes

: farming practices that leverage nature-based methods to increase atmospheric carbon sequestration in plant biomass and soil and decrease greenhouse gas emissions

: products used to combat stressors and promote crop health, derived from or inspired by naturally occurring substances and organisms

: environmental factors that negatively impact plant health

: the use of genetic code to discover the foundations of small molecule medicines

: the process of changing which type of hemoglobin a red blood cell produces, shifting from adult sickled hemoglobin to fetal hemoglobin as a therapeutic approach to sickle cell disease

: biotechnologies that enable intentional and repeatable generation of medicines across many diseases or products for agriculture and sustainability

: therapeutic modalities based on biological building blocks that can be rationally designed and arranged to achieve a desired effect

: a biologic synthesized entirely from nontraditional amino acids

: the trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, protozoa, and fungi, that are found within and on the human body

: the synthesis of machine, human, and nature’s intelligence to form a collaborative network that leverages the creativity and imagination of humans, the adaptive problem-solving capabilities of nature, and the speed and scale of machines

: an RNA molecule that decodes mRNA and transfers the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain

: a new class of therapeutics that reprogram diseased cells to release a defined array of signals that precisely coordinate multicellular networks to drive disease resolution

: nature-based sustainability initiatives upstream or downstream of a company’s operations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage, enhancing the carbon emissions reduction capacity of a supply chain

: the computational challenge of determining the amino acid sequence that produces a desired protein structure

: the study of genetic variation found within each cell of a multicellular organism

: the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and people

: a genome engineering technology based on mobile genetic elements that consists of a protein and an RNA or DNA template to effect a therapeutic change

: a permit representing one metric tonne of carbon dioxide that is generated by quantifying and verifying the impact of nature-based methods in either avoiding carbon emissions or increasing the amount of carbon stored in the land

: any genetically driven disease that stems from a premature termination codon mutation, which prevent the formation of a complete and functional protein
