Sustainability is the heartbeat of our agricultural research programs. We concentrate on advancing agricultural methods that support food security without depleting natural resources. Our Center is at the forefront of pioneering genetically improved crops that require fewer inputs such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides.
Climate change poses an existential threat to our world, altering ecosystems and disrupting life on a global scale. Our Center’s research is geared toward understanding the intricate relationship between plant life and atmospheric dynamics. We focus on developing resilient plant varieties capable of withstanding extreme weather patterns while sequestering carbon more efficiently.
Our ambition is to accelerate the innovation cycle between lab and field. Furthermore, we will strengthen activities to understand how molecular pathways behave in field conditions in order to bring this information back to the lab. Closing the lab-to-field-to-lab learning cycle is pivotal in translating basic research findings to field applications. PSB has also developed unique ways to translate basic scientific insights into field applications.
