  • A coalition organized by Michigan State University's Plant Resilience Institute, or PRI, published a paper in Trends in Plant Science. 
  • The group calls for climate-adapted crops to prevent famine, mass migration and global conflict as a result of climate change.
  • Researchers must also work directly with farmers to close the gap between scientific breakthroughs in the lab and their practical use in farming.
