The expected future increase in crop yields due to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will be offset by stressors linked to climate change. Now is the time to prepare by developing future-proof varieties, researchers urge.
Researchers working on molecular-level responses in crops have taken a step closer to their goal of producing heat-tolerant wheat. “This benefits the sustainability of the food system by protecting food supply as the climate changes,” project lead Dr...
Scientists from the University of Sheffield claim to have ‘solved the structure’ of a key component of photosynthesis in a development that could help achieve higher crop yields and meet the world’s ‘urgent food security needs’.
Israeli food tech company Agritask has secured fresh capital to invest in R&D and expand the customer network for its precision agriculture solution, which is already employed by the likes of General Mills.
The European Commission is tackling the challenges brought by big data processing through the Evolve Project. FoodNavigator caught up with the project’s agricultural pilot, which is driven by project partner CybeleTech, to learn what this means for food...
Feeding a future global population of 10 billion people without causing a climate catastrophe this century will require transformational change across the entire value chain. Fresh evidence suggests climate change is already impacting crop yields. What...
