Elite research area: plant biosystems

Soon we will have to produce twice as much food to feed the world’s population. However, we have run out of agricultural land, and natural resources such as clean water and nutrients are scarce. At the same time, we can expect more extreme climate events.

 

Consequently, there is a greater need than ever before for new agricultural solutions that can ensure the sustainable intensification of food production – also in third world countries. This is the goal for the more than 100 researchers working in LIFE’s elite research area within plant biosystems.
