In less than 50 years, the planet will be home to nearly 10 billion inhabitants. How to sustainably feed such a growing population, in a context where the increase of extreme weather events brought by climate change is already a challenge for food yield? For Prof. Rod Wing, Researcher in genome biology and evolutionary genomics, the solution is rice. By harnessing the natural variation in rice’s wild relatives, he will be able to provide public breeders around the world with varieties of rice that are higher yielding, more nutritious, and that have less of an environmental footprint - thus playing a major role in making our planet more sustainable.

Dans moins de 50 ans, nous serons Presque 10 milliards sur la planète. Comment nourrir une population qui augmente autant, alors que l’intensification des événements météorologiques extrêmes est déjà un défi pour les récoltes et les réserves de nourriture ? Pour le Professeur Rod Wing, chercheur en biologie du génome et génomique de l'évolution, le riz est la solution. A travers la recherche des variations naturelles des espèces sauvages de riz perdues lors du processus de domestication, son objectif est de pouvoir mettre à disposition des cultivateurs des variétés ayant un rendement et un apport nutritif supérieurs, tout en ayant un impact écologique moindre. Suivez le Professeur Wing dans sa contribution active au développement durable de notre planète !
