Using natural genetic variation, we are helping to address urgent needs for a more drought-resilient food supply that can be produced while protecting and enhancing soil resources and other ecosystem services, specifically through the durable African native, sorghum. With the world population projected to be near 10 billion by 2050, I see this type of research as being paramount to food security world wide.
