In many developing countries, COVID-19 has severely impacted on employment and incomes creating a major food crisis for growing numbers of people unable to afford food. The adverse impact of COVID-19 on the global economy may also result in a renewed risk of accelerated population growth that could add significantly to food insecurity. Many responses to the pandemic have resulted in changes in agriculture and food production that may persist in the longer term. Plant sciences have a major role to play (Weng, 2020) in not only addressing the needs of a post-COVID world but also the long term challenges of climate change, population growth, environmental degradation and food security. ./cache/cord-288863-buis3y21.txt ./txt/cord-288863-buis3y21.txt
