Carbohydrates helped launch Seed World Europe columnist Joe Schwarcz’s scientific career—and sparked a lifelong passion for chemistry in everyday life.
From fermentation to cellulose to modern food science, the story of “carbs” is far bigger than we think.

Rising yields are not only a story of genetics, agronomy and machinery. A new NBER paper suggests rising CO₂ may also have played a larger role in crop productivity, especially for wheat, than many models assume.

What if the crops we depend on disappeared tomorrow?
Genebanks are the backup plan for global food security—protecting the genetic diversity breeders need to feed the future. Supporting them isn’t optional. It’s essential.
