We estimate global wheat losses over the past 50 years absent investments in research to limit impacts of stem rust and discuss how this can inform decisions about “right-sizing” research investments.
Based on gridcell-level estimates of wheat yields, and response to nutrient application, together with gridcell-specific estimates of fertilizer and wheat prices, this spreadsheet model assesses the profitability of fertilizer application in Ethiopia.
The National Research Council's Science and Technology for Sustainability Program hosted two workshops in 2011 addressing the sustainability challenges associated with food security for all.
