Journal ArticleDOI
Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People
H Charles J Godfray,John Beddington,I. R. Crute,Lawrence Haddad,David Lawrence,James F. Muir,Jules Pretty,Sherman Robinson,Sandy M Thomas,Camilla Toulmin +9 more
TL;DR: A multifaceted and linked global strategy is needed to ensure sustainable and equitable food security, different components of which are explored here.
Reaping the Benefits: Science and the sustainable intensification of global agriculture
Bill Davies,David C. Baulcombe,I. R. Crute,Jim M. Dunwell,Mike Gale,Jonathan D. G. Jones,Jules Pretty,William J. Sutherland,Camilla Toulmin +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that major improvements are needed to the way that scientific research is funded and used, and that sustainable intensification of crop production requires a clear definition of agricultural sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The future of the global food system
H. Charles J. Godfray,I. R. Crute,Lawrence Haddad,David Lawrence,James F. Muir,Nicholas Nisbett,Jules Pretty,Sherman Robinson,Camilla Toulmin,Rosalind Whiteley +9 more
TL;DR: The collected papers suggest that major advances in sustainable food production and availability can be achieved with the concerted application of current technologies (given sufficient political will), and the importance of investing in research sooner rather than later to enable the food system to cope with both known and unknown challenges in the coming decades.

TL;DR: The UK Government's Foresight Global Food and Farming Futures project as mentioned in this paper aims to improve dialogue and understanding between agricultural research and policy by identifying the 100 most important questions for global agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoalexin-deficient mutants of Arabidopsis reveal that PAD4 encodes a regulatory factor and that four PAD genes contribute to downy mildew resistance.
Jane Glazebrook,Michael Zook,Figen Mert,Isabelle Kagan,Elizabeth E. Rogers,I. R. Crute,Eric B. Holub,Raymond Hammerschmidt,Frederick M. Ausubel +8 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, each combination of double mutants between pad1-1, pad2-1 and pad3-1 exhibited additive shifts to moderate or full susceptibility to most of the isolates, indicating that PAD4 has a regulatory function.
