Plant Biology for Breeding and Protection

How we are going to produce enough food to feed the world’s population, which is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050? And can we at the same time mitigate climate change? What we grow in our fields and how we do it are key addressing these two global challenges.

Modern agriculture is the basis for the vast majority of the earth’s food and feed production, and can provide new bio-friendly materials and chemicals. Advancements in plant protection and plant breeding will be pivotal to secure crops and increase yield without increasing inputs and lessening the environmental and climate impacts. Today agriculture stands for around 25% of global greenhouse emissions.

This course focuses on plant biology for breeding and protection in a global perspective. Labs will include bioinformatics exercises to better understand plant systems for improved food security and tackling climate change.
