Science-based regulations that balance benefits with risks will lead to the adoption of new agricultural capabilities and will allow countries to better address their resource challenges.

Researchers have discovered small groups of bacterial species that can help plants respond to a form of nutritional stress called phosphate starvation.

Characterizing the plant microbiome could better equip crops to grow in resource-poor environments and to fight off dangerous pathogens.

"With climate change, there will be more new insects appearing, and those insects will be carrying new viruses and new strains. To secure crop production around the world, we have to find those means of genome editing."

Advances in genetic engineering offer tremendous promise for the food supply chain, including "balanced nutrition and poverty alleviation across the world."
