19 Feb 2020 --- Seed breeding specialist Equinom has closed its Series B round of funding of US$10 million, led by BASF Venture Capital. Using the new capital injection, the Israeli start-up aims to expand its novel cross breeding method of plant seeds, which raises a crop’s protein content and tailors its organoleptic properties to the specifications of a particular company. Equinom further anticipates the launch of its high-protein pea variety in 2021.
