(NEF) is a technology licensing company, developing crop scale up and establishment systems. The management of NEF have extensive (over 20 years) of experience developing and commercialising vegetative propagation systems for perennial grasses in the EU, North and South America, experiencing at first hand establishing vegetatively multiplied crops at large scale. This work focused NEF research activities on developing technology to establish perennial grasses like row crops. As most of the important perennial grasses are sterile (they do not produce seeds) the challenge was to make vegetative propagation easier and cheaper and the solution is NEF CEEDSTM technology.
