In regions worldwide, the accelerating pace of climate change has outpaced traditional crop breeding. To address this critical gap, a multitude of emerging technologies beckon as powerful allies in the global battle against climate change and the environmental impact of agriculture. Key among these are innovative precision breeding methods, including CRISPR-Cas systems, synthetic biology, machine learning, and computational biology. These bioengineering tools hold immense potential for addressing large-scale global challenges and shifts in consumer habits. Join us to explore the intersection of precision breeding, climate change, biodiversity loss and the urgent need to bridge this gap.
