Ensuring food security in the face of climate change

Explore precision breeding strategies for optimizing stress tolerance in crops—reducing their vulnerability to climate extremes and boosting food security. 
 
This event builds on a Frontiers in Science lead article outlining these two strategies: genetically altering high-yield plants to cope better with new conditions, or domesticating wild plants with higher stress tolerance to improve their yields.    
 
You’ll hear from the article authors and other experts on next steps for success—including cell-based phenotyping to better understand stress tolerance mechanisms and public acceptance of gene editing and new crops.
