Abstract

Severe price spikes of the major grain commodities and rapid expansion of cultivated area in the past two decades are symptoms of a severely stressed global food supply. Scientific discovery and improved agricultural productivity are needed and are enabled by unencumbered access to, and use of, genetic sequence data. In the same way the world witnessed rapid development of vaccines for COVID-19, genetic sequence data afford enormous opportunities to improve crop production. In addition to an enabling regulatory environment that allowed for the sharing of genetic sequence data, robust funding fostered the rapid development of coronavirus diagnostics and COVID-19 vaccines. A similar level of commitment, collaboration, and cooperation is needed for agriculture.

使基因序列数据的价值最大化需要有利的环境和紧迫性

过去二十年来，主要粮食商品价格急剧上涨，耕地面积迅速扩大，这些都是全球粮食供应严重紧张的症状。科学发现和农业生产力的提高是必要的，并且可以通过无障碍地获取和使用基因序列数据来实现。就像世界见证了COVID-19疫苗的快速发展一样，基因序列数据为提高作物生产提供了巨大的机会。除了为共享基因序列数据提供有利的监管环境外，充足的资金还促进了冠状病毒诊断和COVID-19疫苗的快速开发。农业也需要类似程度的承诺、协作和合作。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
