Crops that feed the world 6. Past successes and future challenges to the role played by maize in global food security
TL;DR: In this paper, the Green Revolution (GR) has played an outstanding role in feeding a hungry world and improving global food security, and it also generated its own environmental problems also productivity increase is now slow or static, and achieving the productivity gains needed to ensure food security will therefore require more than a repeat performance of the GR of the past, while the key challenges today is to replace these varieties with new ones for better sustainability.

Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future.
Lawrence A. Lacey,David Grzywacz,David I. Shapiro-Ilan,Roger Frutos,M. Brownbridge,Mark S. Goettel +5 more
TL;DR: Current information on development, use and future directions of insect-specific viruses, bacteria, fungi and nematodes as components of integrated pest management strategies for control of arthropod pests of crops, forests, urban habitats, and insects of medical and veterinary importance is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect resistance to Bt crops: lessons from the first billion acres
TL;DR: Field outcomes support theoretical predictions that factors delaying resistance include recessive inheritance of resistance, low initial frequency of resistance alleles, abundant refuges of non-Bt host plants and two-toxin Bt crops deployed separately from one-t toxin BT crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global maize production, utilization, and consumption
TL;DR: Low production costs, along with the high consumption of maize flour and cornmeal, especially where micronutrient deficiencies are common public health problems, make this food staple an ideal food vehicle for fortification.
