ABSTRACT
Food security is underpinned by innovations in agricultural production. Continuing rapid advances in genomics are providing tools for more effective delivery of advances in agricultural production. Genomics helps identify new genetic resources for food and agriculture, new strategies for adapting agriculture to climate, define ways to improve the nutritional and functional value of foods and deliver tools for greatly accelerated genetic improvement. Robert Henry will describe recent developments and current research on the application of genomics to major crops in his work with QAAFI.
