It is illusory to believe that our crops will adapt to a rapidly changing climate. All research organizations are on the warpath to find solutions for the future
> Outlook:
Better knowledge of genetic control of adaptation traits will help to build
more robust and productive varieties.
"Breakthrough" technologies, such as the adaptation of entirely new plants to culture, are
design.
By more accurately modeling the effects of climate change on crops, it will be possible to
to propose plant improvement strategies. It is also necessary to adapt the support systems to
decision to new issues.
