Your job
Future food systems urgently need new crops that deliver sustainability, nutrition, and resilience. This includes crops that support the protein transition and thrive under changing climates while staying within planetary boundaries. However, breeding progress on key traits, such as yield stability and drought tolerance, remains too slow to meet accelerating agricultural pressures. These traits are governed by complex genetic architectures and strong environmental interactions, making rapid improvement particularly challenging.
Digital phenotyping offers a transformative opportunity to accelerate crop improvement. Drones, satellites, and high-throughput sensors now generate large-scale, multi-te...
