Securing our food, forever - Crop Trust

Food security depends on crop diversity Thus we must increase food production, primarily through higher plant productivity as we cannot count on adding arable land. Historically, half of the increase in crop yields has come from conventional genetic improvement: Breeders identify useful genes in existing varieties of food plants and recombine them to develop new varieties that are more productive, more nutritious and more resistant to stresses – like higher temperatures or less water.
