The need for a second agricultural revolution | Cyprus Mail

In this TED-Ed video, food system scientist Brent Loken discusses the innovative ways that countries are revolutionising farming, to ensure humanity can be fed in an environmentally-sustainable way. About 10,000 years ago, humans took up farming, resulting in an agricultural revolution that ultimately enabled the existence of civilisation. In fact,…

Engineering crops of the future: CRISPR approaches to develop climate-resilient and disease-resistant plants

To meet increasing global food demand, breeders and scientists aim to improve the yield and quality of major food crops. Plant diseases threaten food security and are expected to increase because of climate change. CRISPR genome-editing technology opens new opportunities to engineer disease resistance traits. With precise genome engineering and transgene-free applications, CRISPR is expected to resolve the major challenges to crop improvement. Here, we discuss the latest developments in CRISPR technologies for engineering resistance to viruses, bacteria, fungi, and pests. We conclude by highlighting current concerns and gaps in technology, as well as outstanding questions for future research.
