Global food security is increasingly challenging in light of population increase, the impact of climate change on crop production, and limited land available for agricultural expansion. Here we outline how genome editing provides excellent and timely methods to optimize crop plants, and argue the urgency for societal acceptance and support.
在人口增长、气候变化对作物生产的影响以及可用于农业扩张的土地有限的情况下，全球粮食安全正变得越来越具有挑战性。在这里，我们概述了基因组编辑如何为优化作物提供极好且及时的方法，并论证了社会接受和支持的紧迫性。
