Real time portable genome sequencing for global food security

2018-05-04

Abstract excerpt

The United Nations has listed Zero Hunger as one of the 17 global sustainable development goals to end extreme poverty by 2030. Plant viruses are a major constraint to crop production globally causing an estimated $30 billion in damage 1 leaving millions of people food insecure 2 . In Africa, agriculture employs up to 50% of the workforce, yet only contributes 15% to the GDP on average 3 , suggesting that there...
