S&W Seed and Cibus Advance Alfalfa Innovation with FDA Clearance
S&W Seed Company, in collaboration with agricultural technology firm Cibus, has reached a major milestone with the successful completion of the FDA’s Plant Biotechnology Consultation Program for their altered lignin alfalfa trait. The FDA confirmed it has no further questions, clearing the way for use in food and feed. The novel alfalfa trait—developed through a partnership between S&W Seed and Cibus—offers improved nutrient availability for livestock and greater flexibility in harvest timing. This innovation enables farmers to produce higher-value alfalfa without increasing input costs, enhancing both efficiency and profitability.
