Crop Genomics for Global Food Security

Population growth and climate change generated stresses are indicating a need for immediate action regarding the improvement of crops to guarantee food security in developing countries. Genomics tools have uncovered important traits that can provide gains to crop cultivars in the different parts of the globe. Translational genomics can help accelerate the connection between trait identification and field applications. The workshop will focus on these cases that can make a difference in changing the scenario of crop production worldwide.
