The purpose of this document is to examine options from crop biotechnologies to address food insecurity in developing countries, particularly in the context of deepening economic and environmental uncertainty. Its primary focus is on sector-specific issues relating to biotechnology and their impact on crop breeding, management and genetic resources, but it will also consider relevant cross-sectoral aspects such as socio-economic, regulatory, and public-good concerns.
