Speaking before the UK House of Commons last week. Rising heat, shifting pests, and unpredictable patterns are changing how and where we can grow food. Models that once guided us no longer fit today’s reality and that means our solutions must evolve too🌍🌱

Talking about innovation, what actually matters is how we take it from idea to impact. The challenge isn’t creating new solutions; it’s scaling them so they reach the farmers, producers, and communities who need them most. Science and policy need to work hand in hand. 🌍🌾 At #BorlaugDialogue25.
