Improving global integration of crop research by Reynolds, Matthew P., Braun, Hans-Joachim, Cavalieri, Anthony J., Chapotin, Saharah, Davies, William, Rosegrant, Mark W., Quilligan, Emma

“…In recent decades, the scientific, development, and farm communities have contributed to substantial gains in crop productivity, including in many less developed countries (LDCs), yet current yield trends and agri-food systems are inadequate to match projected demand. Addressing transnational crop challenges will require refinement of research infrastructure and better leverage of global expertise and technologies. …”
