Impact of Climate Change on Plant Breeding Strategies

This exam focuses on the effects of climate change on plant breeding strategies. Students will discuss approaches for breeding crops more adapted to varying climate conditions and extreme weather events.

The ability to breed climate-resilient crops is critical for sustainable agriculture in the face of changing environmental conditions. Adapting breeding strategies ensures food security and maintains agricultural productivity amidst global challenges.

Assessment will measure the student's capacity to articulate how climate change influences breeding objectives, including selection criteria and traits prioritized in new varieties.

Students are encouraged to integrate knowledge from various fields, fostering an interdisciplinary approach to tackling the challenges posed by climate variability.
