The world is changing rapidly. Across Africa and Asia, smallholder farmers stand at the frontline of a global challenge: feeding growing populations in the face of climate stress, soil degradation, and dwindling natural resources. How can we grow more food — with less land, less water, and fewer emissions - while ensuring every community has enough to eat? At the University of Cambridge, a team of scientists, partners, and innovators are working together to answer that question. The Crop Science Centre is a global hub where science meets society to create a fairer, more sustainable future for farming. Its mission is to make global food production more equitable, sustainable, and resilient. They are driven by the belief that innovation must serve everyone — not just those who can afford it. https://www.cropsciencecentre.org/
