New social media series : Made by nature – Guided by us

Plants for the Future is launching a new series exploring how plant domestication and breeding transformed wild species into the crops that feed the world today. The series will examine the origins of today’s crops, how domestication reshaped their traits over time, the achievements of modern breeding, and why continued genetic improvement is essential for sustainable agriculture.

Across the series, each feature will spotlight a different crop, tracing its evolution from ancestral species to the modern varieties that support global food systems today.
