Project Summary / Description:

Regenerative agricultural underlies global food and climate security by improving yield under limiting environmental conditions while building the natural resource base of fertile soil. Rapid selection and breeding in new species can be achieved through genomic association and selection. To this end, thousands of accessions from model, crop, and foundation plant species (eg Eucalypts) are being sequenced to identify deep genomic diversity and functional alleles associated with growth, reproduction, and environmental adaptation. The resulting landscape effects, in turn have outputs measured as ecosystems services including biomass, food, habitat for biodiversity, and water, carbon, and nitrogen sequestration, that input again on regenerative growth.
