Climate resilient crops: Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Wellcome Trust award a grant of up to DKK 585 million to the ‘Ancient Environmental Genomics Initiative for Sustainability’
Harnessing environmental DNA, a new pioneering research project sets out to transform future cropping systems and to develop resilient crops in the face of climate change. The Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded a grant of up to DKK 585 million over seven years, co-funded with the Wellcome Trust, to the Ancient Environmental Genomics Initiative for Sustainability.
In an era where climate change poses a critical threat to biodiversity and agricultural productivity, the Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded a grant of up to DKK 500 million over seven years, with an additional DKK 85 million funded by the Wellcome Trust, to the ambitious ‘Ancient Environmental Genomics Initiative for Sustainability’ (AEGIS) research programme.
