Abstract:
Plant breeders must improve the yield levels of crop plants at least by double than what is being produced now in order to achieve zero hunger by 2030 as per Sustainable Development goals. This is not easy as we have only few years left with to achieve the goal. Further the improved plant varieties should face the various Biotic and Abiotic stress factors that are increasing with the current climate changes. In this review we shall discuss the situation of hunger in the world, remaining available land to increase food production and the effects of Biotic and Abiotic factors on the food production.
