in 2018, family farming generated<\/a> about 80 percent of the earth’s food. as climate change raises global temperatures and prompts extreme weather events, these small-scale operations will face<\/a> surges in pests and crop disease.<\/p>\n

in response, researchers at the northwestern university lucks lab have developed plant-dx, a mobile platform to help farmers test crops quickly and on-the-go. this november, the bill & melinda gates foundation awarded the lucks lab with the grand challenges explorations grant<\/a> to further develop plant-dx into an accessible solution for farmers around the world.<\/p>\n
