Foreword
Today the world is facing an unprecedented challenge: how to feed a growing population predicted to reach over 9.1 billion people by 2050 on a resource base threatened by climate change and with limited options for bringing new arable land under cultivation. Associated challenges of high levels of women and child malnutrition in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and environmental degradation add to the complexity threatening our future. To meet these challenges, farmers need improved varieties of crops which give higher productivity and economic returns while withstanding risks induced by climate change such as high temperatures, changing spatial and tem
