DESCRIPTION
The growing demand for food and increasing searcity of fertile land and other resources (water, energy, etc.) present multiple challenges to plant and crop scientists to meet the demands for future generations while protecting the environment and conserve biological diversity. Novel directions in linking basic plant sciences to crop and systems research are needed to meet the growing demand for food in a sustainable way.
