    Abstract This book features a comprehensive foresight assessment, exploring the pressures - threats as well as opportunities - on the global agriculture & food systems between now and 2050. The overarching aim is to help readers understand the context, by analyzing global trends and anticipating change for better planning and constructing pathways from the present to the future by focusing on the right questions and problems. The book contextualizes the role of international agricultural research in addressing the complex challenges posed by UN 2030 Agenda and beyond, and identifies the decisions that scientific leaders, donors and policy makers need to take today, and in the years ahead, to ensure that a global population rising to nine billion or more combined with rising incomes and changing diets can be fed sustainably and equitably, in the face of the growing climate threats

    Abstract The overarching question that Agriculture & Food Systems to 2050 (https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/11212) (World Scientific, 2018) seeks to address is: How should agricultural research and policy re-orient itself to address the ‘perfect storm’ of global threats and opportunities facing our planet? The volume, comprised of 18 chapters authored by leading experts in foresight, explores threats as well as opportunities for the global agricultural and food systems between now and 2050. Their analysis is organized into four sections—each of which focuses on a key dimension of the ‘perfect storm’. These are food system threats and challenges; technological innovations and disruptive futures; agricultural transformation, bioeconomy and sustainable resource use; and food systems policy futures. The synthesis chapter brings together key messages and an assessment of opportunities in agricultural research for development. This brief outlines some of the book's key headlines.

    Abstract A set of papers from the ISPC strategic study on conservation agriculture (CA) has been published in a special issue of Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment entitled “Evaluating conservation agriculture for small-scale farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia”. The 13 papers in the issue give insight into the state of the science on CA across a range of disciplines - agronomy, economics, environmental science and social sciences. The papers were published together with an editorial by the ISPC.

  9. Article ; Online: Rice near-isogenic-lines (NILs) contrasting for grain yield under lowland drought stress

    Abstract The development of near-isogenic-lines (NILs) is a very important tool for both genetic and physiological dissection of drought resistance in rice. Two pairs of NILs differing for grain yield under drought stress were isolated and characterized for yield, yield related traits, and several physiological traits in a range of contrasting environments. In replicated field trials both NIL pairs differed significantly for grain yield under drought stress but showed similar yield potential, phenology, and yield component traits under non-stress conditions. A polymorphism analysis study with 491 SSRs revealed that both NIL pairs are at least 96% genetically similar. These NILs show that small genetic differences can cause large difference in grain yield under drought stress in rice. In both pairs the drought-tolerant NILs showed a significantly higher assimilation rate at later stages both under stress and non-stress conditions. They also had a higher transpiration rate under non-stress condition. The most tolerant NIL (IR77298-14-1-2-B-10) had significantly higher transpiration rate and stomatal conductance in severe stress conditions. In one pair the tolerant NIL had constitutively deeper roots than the susceptible NIL. In the second pair, which had higher mean root length than the first pair, the tolerant NIL had more roots, greater root thickness, and greater root dry weight than the susceptible NIL. Deeper root length may allow tolerant NILs to extract more water at deeper soil layers. It is concluded that enhanced rooting depth is an important strategy for dehydration avoidance and rice adaptation to drought stress, but root architecture might not be the only mechanism causing the significant yield increase we observed in lowland drought stress environments. To further dissect the drought avoidance mechanisms in rice, analysis of root hydraulic properties may be necessary.
