BENSON HILL Glossary Item ABCD in Ag Agronomy Constraint of Biology CRISPR Gene Editing Crop Cycle Gene Expression Genomics Germplasm Ingredient Processor Identity Preservation Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) MMT Pea Protein Concentrate (PPC) Source: Benson Hill. Definition 4 companies, ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus, which control 70% of the grain industry The science of soil management and crop production The constraints on innovation life cycles that come with working with complex, living things. Big data, simulation, high-throughput imaging and environmental manipulation enable us to push the constraints of biology Modifying genetic materials in a cell or organism to accelerate crop breeding in agriculture The time it takes for a crop to be planted and grow to maturity to produce new seeds Information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that produces protein as the end product The structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes (complete set of genes or genetic material in a cell or organism) Living genetic resources such as seeds that are maintained for animal and plant breeding, preservation, and other research uses A facility where grain inputs are converted into food and feed ingredients An integrated supply chain that traces the integrity of the ingredient from planting, to processing, to delivery; ensures separation of product from commodity supply chains A methodology of quantifying the environmental impacts associated with a given product. In a Life Cycle Analysis researchers create an inventory of resources used and pollutants generated in product production and use Million metric tons 66 A plant-based protein ingredient isolated from mostly yellow pea grain used primarily in pet food. Pea Protein Concentrate typically has a protein content of 50% or greater on a moisture free basis
