ABSTRACT
Severe price spikes of the major grain commodities and rapid expansion of cultivated area in the past two decades are symptoms of a severely stressed global food supply. Scientific discovery and improved agricultural productivity are needed and are enabled by unencumbered access to, and use of, genetic sequence data. In the same way the world witnessed rapid development of vaccines for COVID-19, genetic sequence data afford enormous opportunities to improve crop production. In addition to an enabling regulatory environment that allowed for the sharing of genetic sequence data, robust funding fostered the rapid development of coronavirus diagnostics and COVID-19 vaccines. A similar level of commitment, collaboration, and cooperation is needed for agriculture.
