We are living in a turning point for food supply as most benefits of the green revolution developed in the 1960’s and 70’s have been exploited and yield improvements based on that technology are flattening.The current global population stands at 7 billion and will increase to at least 9 billion in the next 30 years. As such, food production will have to significantly increase to feed these ever-increasing numbers.It is estimated that we will have to improve our harvest by about 50% over our best present yields and part of the solution must come through breakthroughs in plant physiology, biochemistry and molecular biotechnology. In addition, consumption of fossil fuels will continue to increase, but resources are limited. Thus, increasing biomass production, such as cellulose and starch, for bioenergy or bio-refinery is also paramount to the sustainability of human society.The 2010 International Symposium on Plant Productivity aims to bring together the top researchers in the field of plant productivity improvement and to provide a forum where research in both academia and industry can be exchanged and collaborations built between the public and private sectors.Speakers from research in academia and industry will present their ideas and how it will impact the future.Keywords: Accepted papers list.
