Summary:

"The latest edition of the international journal 'Science' outlines the recommendation for a 'Global Crop Improvement Network' that would take a worldwide approach to crop research, improving mankind's ability to understand crop performance in different environments and speed up the adoption of new technologies.

The Network would work with existing national crop research systems and could be supported through public-private partnerships, using a model based on the successful International Wheat Improvement Network established in the 1960s."
