为了养活人类，同时保持稳定和多样化的生物圈，作物科学需要适应一个开放的研究环境，在这个环境中，遗传资源和证明它们在环境中有效的数据可以自由共享。面临的挑战是，在人类入侵和气候变化造成的环境退化导致的土地面积减少的情况下扩大作物生产，同时保持生物多样性。个别研究人员正在发现在某些环境中有效而在其他环境中无效的等位基因和基因组合。这些数据和等位基因在全球范围内有助于加快类似环境的育种进展，同时避免在无效基因型上浪费时间。然而，目前在共享遗传资源及其基础数据方面存在重大障碍，如果我们要为子孙后代维持地球，就必须克服这些障碍。
To feed humanity, while maintaining a stable and diverse biosphere, crop science needs to adapt to an open research environment where genetic resources and the data demonstrating the environments in which they are effective are freely shared. The challenge faced is to expand crop production on a reduced land area, due to environmental degradation caused by human encroachment and climate change, while maintaining biodiversity. Individual researchers are discovering alleles and genetic combinations that are effective in certain environments but not in others. These data and alleles are useful globally to speed progress in breeding for similar environments while not wasting time on ineffective genotypes. However, currently, there are significant barriers to the sharing of genetic resources and their underpinning data, which must be overcome if we are to sustain the planet for future generations.
