From Farm to Flush: Innovation within Global Food Systems Cereal scientists are contributors to the larger global food system that feeds the Earth's population. A multitude of geopolitical forces shape how food is grown and distributed around the globe. Innovating in a global food system involves integrating agronomy, product design, food production, and human nutrition, as well as how food consumption waste is “flushed” back to the planet. Cereal scientists cannot operate alone: collaboration across geographic and disciplinary boundaries has become a critical skill in successfully navigating the complexities required for future innovation. |
