If interested in plants and botany, get some ideas from this: improving photosynthesis

We face many challenges in the future when one considers population growth, human migrations from coastal regions, and climate change. It is estimated we will need to produce about 60% more food by 2050 to feed the 10 billion people who will be living on earth.

Photosynthesis turns out to be inefficient, and if scientists can figure out how to make plants better at producing more food per plant, that will literally help to feed the world. Check out what some scientists are doing to improve the photosynthetic process of plants. Can you get any ideas of things you can try to improve the food yield of certain plants? New ways of growing and farming plants? Be creative, get inspiration and motivation from what some of the professional scientists are doing, and try your ideas! In science, one never knows what the 'right' idea is until it is tried and tested - just talk with a teacher or other adviser and go for it!!
