NORWICH, England<\/span> and OVIEDO, Fla.<\/span><\/span>, Jan. 28, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — ALORA is thrilled to announce the groundbreaking success of its heat-tolerance trait, marking a transformative milestone in agricultural resilience against climate change. Under extreme heat conditions\u2014daytime temperatures exceeding 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F)<\/b> and nighttime temperatures surpassing 32\u00b0C (89.6\u00b0F)<\/b>\u2014ALORA’s rice varieties achieved a staggering 2555% yield increase<\/b> compared to controls, with an extrapolated yield of 11 tonnes per hectare<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Left: Control rice that has struggled to grow and produce in the high temperatures. Right: ALORA rice thriving under the high temperatures with abundance of rice grain.<\/span> <\/div>\n

This pioneering development addresses a global crisis as rising temperatures threaten food security. With rice yields typically declining by up to 10% for every 1\u00b0C above optimal<\/b>, and regions experiencing yield losses as high as 90%<\/b>, ALORA’s innovation offers a beacon of hope. Importantly, this non-GMO solution uses ALORA’s proprietary editing technique to not only preserve yield but also maintains grain quality, achieving optimal amylose content and increased milling efficiency.<\/p>\n

The ALORA Mission: Innovation for a Changing World<\/b><\/p>\n

ALORA was founded in 2019 with a singular vision: to create a world free from hunger. Co-founder and CEO Luke Young<\/span>, set out to reimagine agriculture from the ground up by designing the world’s first truly sustainable food system. Together with co-founder Rory Hornby<\/span> they launched a bold plan to create ocean agriculture – salt-tolerant crops on floating oceanic farms, no freshwater, no chemicals. Building on its salt-tolerance breakthroughs, ALORA has recently expanded to tackle the multifaceted threats of climate change, including heat stress in traditional crops.<\/p>\n

“Our mission is simple yet ambitious: end world hunger, safeguard agriculture from climate change, and create a truly sustainable food system\u2014ocean agriculture,” says Luke Young<\/span>. “Our new heat-tolerance trait is a testament to our belief that innovation can outpace crisis.”<\/p>\n

Why Heat-Tolerance Matters<\/b><\/p>\n

The past decade has been the hottest on record, with catastrophic heatwaves in Japan<\/span>, USA<\/span>, and Australia<\/span> decimating crops. As temperatures above 28\u00b0C (82.4\u00b0F) damage rice quality and yields, ALORA’s systems offer a lifeline for farmers worldwide.<\/p>\n

Driving Global Impact<\/b><\/p>\n

ALORA’s heat-tolerant rice, including market-ready lines VENUS-4 and VENUS-5, is set to redefine agricultural sustainability. Future developments like VENUS-2 and VENUS-3, part of the 2025 Climate Ready pipeline, promise even greater yields while maintaining quality.<\/p>\n

About ALORA<\/b><\/p>\n

Founded in 2019, ALORA is a leader in sustainable agriculture, innovating climate-resilient crop traits and the world-first ocean agriculture system. Ideated in the UK and launched in San Francisco<\/span>, ALORA operates internationally, with innovation hubs in Norwich, UK<\/span>, and Oviedo, Florida<\/span>.<\/p>\n
