Green biotechnology for food security in climate change

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Climate change is having increasing impacts on food security globally. With 925 million citizens expected to be undernourished by 2020, the contribution of green biotechnology to meeting world food security needs is discussed. Applications of biotechnology including marker-aided selection, genomics, genetic modifications, and emergent novel technologies of relevance to drought resistance and salt tolerance to meet the needs of an increasing population under stressed environmental conditions are described.
