Crop scientists are racing against time to develop crops that are more nutritious, higher yielding or better adapted to climate change, to help feed the world’s growing population. But their research can only ever be as fast as the life cycle of the crop they are studying. Wheat specialist Brande Wulff has helped develop ‘speed breeding’ - a technique which more than halves the time it takes for wheat to go from seed to seed.
