Climate Ready crops could also be crops genetically engineered (not genetically modified, there is a distinction) to be more resilient towards a warmer world or specific threats of a region. Look at SCUBA Rice as an example of rice more resistant flooding. We risk drier climates & an increase in heatwaves to threaten our food supply. Industrial AG is a problem though. Sadly Monsanto will no doubt take advantage of this initiative. There are other regenerative ag techniques that would make our farms more climate resilient but they require large upfront capital costs and policy incentives aren’t there yet in the US. these practices are also a good solution to reduce our reliance on nitrogen fertilizer
