Bioeconomy opens up development opportunities for Latin America, but it also involves several risks, says Federico Vasen.

Scientific research in India needs to integrate better with rural development issues, say Rajeswari S. Raina and Kasturi Mandal.

The world's food security depends on the quality of the forward-looking agricultural studies we are carrying out today, says Mark Holderness.

Two safeguards for communities' rights to resources can help implement the Nagoya Protocol, argues biodiversity specialist Krystyna Swiderska.

South-East Asian nations should follow the Philippines down the path to biotech crops for food security, argues Crispin Maslog.

Algal biofuels, like crops, demand land, water, fertilisers, pesticides and inputs that are costly for India, says Hoysall Chanakya.

Durable food security and agricultural growth depend on development strategies with resilience built in from the start, says Gordon Conway.

Feeding South-East Asia's rapidly growing population requires a second Green Revolution, says Crispin Maslog.

Farmers are more likely to use GM crops if they are involved in crop development in the right way, say Obidimma Ezezika and Justin Mabeya.

The scientific community should create new intergovernmental organisations that promote innovative science in Africa, says Calestous Juma.

Success stories show that food crises can be controlled with the right tools and agricultural policies, says Sam Dryden.

Combined strategies are needed to meet the world's rising demands for food without further damage to biodiversity, says Jason Clay.

Developing countries need help with crop surveillance and the development of strains resistant to wheat rust, say agricultural research leaders.

Nigeria must pass a biosafety law so the country's farmers can reap the benefits of GM technology, says Ademola A. Adenle.

With traditional food production under threat from climate change, we should switch from agriculture to cell culture, says Lucía Atehortúa.

Drought-tolerant crops could improve food security — if researchers take downstream adoption challenges seriously, says Travis Lybbert.

Replenishing soil fertility through fertilisers is key to increasing food production in tropical Africa, says Pedro A. Sánchez.

GM production is up, but that doesn't mean Latin Americans like or want it, say Luisa Massarani, Ildeu de Castro Moreira and Ana Maria Vara.

'Appropriate' technologies, no matter where they come from, are the key to improving agriculture, says development expert Sara Delaney.
