Supporting Agricultural Biology

On Earth today, we are faced with the enormous endeavor of providing food security for more than 8 billion people. The need to increase food supply is challenged by a warming climate and unsustainable farming practices that affect crop growth success, erosion, and the depletion of essential soil microorganisms.

Scientists are meeting this challenge head-on by researching effective ways to manage crops for improved crop disease resistance, and to lower susceptibility to pests and poor yields. They are working to understand plant and ecosystem health, sustainable ways to protect the soil for continued farming success, and in the process, learning how to conserve natural resources. All of this requires a deep understanding of plant pathology, molecular biology, and interactions between the soil microbiome and plants.

It's time to think differently
