Abstract
Wheat occupies a special role in global food security since, in addition to providing 20% of
our carbohydrates and protein, almost 25% of the global production is traded internationally. The
importance of wheat for food security was recognised by the Chief Agricultural Scientists of the G20
group of countries when they endorsed the establishment of the Wheat Initiative in 2011. The Wheat
Initiative was tasked with supporting the wheat research community by facilitating collaboration,
information and resource sharing and helping to build the capacity to address challenges facing
production in an increasingly variable environment. Many countries invest in wheat research.
Innovations in wheat breeding and agronomy have delivered enormous gains over the past few
decades, with the average global yield increasing from just over 1 tonne per hectare in the early 1960s
to around 3.5 tonnes in the past decade. These gains are threatened by climate change, the rapidly
rising financial and environmental costs of fertilizer, and pesticides, combined with declines in water
availability for irrigation in many regions. The international wheat research community has worked
to identify major opportunities to help ensure that global wheat production can meet demand. The
outcomes of these discussions are presented in this paper.
