The planet will need to feed 10 billion people by 2050, by which point global feed crop demand is expected to double to meet demand. Meanwhile, an increase in unpredictable environmental factors such as seasonal droughts and climate change will require healthier, more resilient plants to even match current production. The solution: develop the perfect seed. In this webinar, learn about how researchers are using spectrometric techniques to analyze seed isotopic composition, and how this could help to ensure future food production.
