Another revolutionary discovery by a Pullman Researchers at Washington State University and in the United Kingdom. This findings could makes the future agriculture capable to feed the 9 billion people with changing climate.
Further, if this finding gets fruitful it further challenges to the Malthus population and food dynamic prediction in 1798. In his publication, “Essay on the Principle of Population,” he stated that, while population increases geometrically, food supply increases arithmetically, concluding that at some time the world will run out of food. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer delayed Malthus’s prediction by probably 300 years, but not forever. However, with this finding and its applicability with food crops it could delays another 300 years.
However, this seem to be a good start to the challenge we all have, "How to feed the 9 billion mouths with changing climate". Also this contribute lot to produce climate ready plants or climate smart agriculture in the warming world.
