The Challenge
As our planet heats up, farmers worldwide are struggling to maintain yields in the face of intensifying heat, drought, and soil salinity.
These abiotic stressors significantly reduce crop yields, threatening global food security and the livelihoods of farming communities. Traditional methods of crop improvement, such as selective breeding and genetic modification, often fall short in addressing these rapidly evolving challenges due to their time-consuming nature and potential environmental concerns.
