01 / The world before
Plant disease and low yields could deepen food insecurity.
02 / The discovery
Breeding, agronomy, soil science and irrigation improved production.
03 / The people
Farmers, breeders, field researchers and extension workers.
04 / The obstacles
Higher yields alone cannot solve unequal access, ecological cost or poverty.
05 / The world after
Improved crops and practices changed food production.
06 / Why it still matters
Resilient agriculture depends on research adapted to local places.
