Since the launching of the renewal, the CGIAR has emphasized a new research agenda aimed at promoting a sustainable agriculture for food security and poverty alleviation in the developing world (LDCs). In various declarations and published materials there is constant mentions of new technological breakthroughs developed by the IARCs that will have a more positive impact on the poor of the LDCs....

Appropriate plant biotechnology applications could be a major tool in the fight against hunger and poverty, especially in developing economies. Some promising results have already been reported through a range of biotechnology applications, for example the mass propagation of plants through in vitro clonal propagation, use of molecular markers and marker assisted breeding to improve plant breed...

This page within the Green Chemistry Resource Exchange describes an award-winning technology to produce 1,3-propanediol using an engineered Escheri-chia coli strain. The process is now operating at a scale of 100 000 000 pounds, thus supplying this compound as a commodity chemical. Protection Agency's 2010 small business Green Chemistry award for developing innovative technology to make alkanes...

During the 20th century, conventional breeding produced a vast number of varieties and hybrids that contributed immensely to higher grain yield, stability of harvests, and farm income. Despite the successes of the Green Revolution, the battle to ensure food security for hundreds of millions miserably poor people is far from won. Mushrooming populations, changing demographics, and inadequate pov...
