In terms of agricultural yields, Leibniz Centre scientists applied a 1% amorphous silicon treatment to soil, binding 40% more water, and increasing growth and yields by 80%.
This one time treatment must be controlled, however, as too much silicon can cause excess nutrient wastage entering into groundwater.

They did so thru cross-#breeding wild & cultivated #tomatoes, DNA sequencing and extensive data analysis of 1,400 plants: https://en.huji.ac.il/news/researchers-develop-new-drought-tolerant-variety-tomatoes

Warmer temperatures affect food production. #Geneediting can be applied to crops challenged by #climatechange (e.g. rice, corn, palm oil, vegetables). Molecular #breeding can improve crop #nutrition & #yields with disease & #climate-resilient varieties: https://asiafoodjournal.com/singrow-launches-climate-resilient-strawberry-variety/
