Chromatin Inc focuses on the development of sorghum - a high-yielding, nutrient-efficient, drought-tolerant crop - both for traditional agriculture and for applications in renewable energy. Sorghum has a remarkable ability to grow on marginal land including land not currently used for food production. Its unique biology makes it possible to thrive where other crops fail, as it requires fewer nutrient inputs and far less water than other crops like sugarcane or corn. As water resources become more valuable, and as growing populations require more productivity from low-quality land, sorghum is a crop that is poised to meet the growing need for both traditional agriculture and bio-industrial processes. Sorghum can be cultivated on over 80% of the worldâs agricultural land, making it vital to meeting the worldâs growing demand for sustainable agricultural systems. The firm provides high yielding, stable sorghum hybrids with high quality traits using the latest breeding methodologies to create new seed products that use resources efficiently and grow on marginal land. The firmâs products enable farmers worldwide to produce crops optimized for traditional agriculture or for emerging bio-industrial industries such as liquid transportation fuels, chemicals, materials, and biopower. Today, Chromatin's products are sold in the US and in more than 20 countries, and its sorghum seeds are planted on over 4 million acres worldwide. Chromatin is headquartered in Chicago and produces its seeds at its facility in
