Sixty percent of the world food supply depends on four major crops – maize, wheat, rice and soybean. These crops are also used for animal feed and bio-energy. The world population is growing and it is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. The world is already experiencing the implications of temperature increase and its impacts on food production. Crops For the Future, the world’s first centre dedicated to research on underutilised crops for food and non-food uses is leading in demonstrating on how underutilised (or neglected) crops can help transform agriculture for good. With its partners, CFF has identified the need for a Global Action Plan for Agricultural Diversification (GAPAD) to address the challenges identified in Sustainable Development Agenda through the diversification of agricultural species and systems.
