The accelerated pace of climate change over the past several years should serve as a wake-up call for all scientists, farmers, and decision makers, as it severely threatens our food supply and could result in famine, migration, war, and an overall destabilization of our society. Rapid and significant changes are therefore needed in the way we conduct research on plant resilience, develop new crop varieties, and cultivate those crops in our agricultural systems. Here, we describe the main bottlenecks for these processes and outline a set of key recommendations on how to accelerate research in this critical area for our society.
在过去几年里，气候变化加速的步伐应当给所有科学家、农民和决策者敲响警钟，因为它严重威胁到我们的粮食供应，可能导致饥荒、移民、战争以及整个社会的不稳定。因此，我们开展植物抗逆性研究、培育新作物品种以及在农业系统中种植这些作物的方式需要迅速且重大的改变。在此，我们描述了这些过程的主要瓶颈，并就如何加速这一关乎我们社会的关键领域的研究给出了一系列关键建议。
