All Crop Breeding and Food Security Pioneers

Agricultural scientists and engineers who raised food output by developing better crop varieties and the farming practices that go with them, such as high yielding and disease resistant wheat and rice, fertilizer and irrigation methods and the training of farmers in new techniques. A person belongs here when the cited article credits them with a crop variety or farming system that measurably improved harvests. Inventors of farm machines such as ploughs, reapers and harvesters belong in the agricultural machinery group of the same field.
