Energy Intensity of Agriculture and Food Systems (2011, background): “Historically, the 300% increase in cereal production above 1950s levels was largely attributable to the introduction of high-yield cultivars dependent on fertilizer nitrogen and irrigation water (only 10% was achieved through expansion of cultivated land) (139).”
Genome-Wide Reduction of Genetic Diversity in Wheat Breeding (2009, background): “For example, Canadian wheat breeding was limited to a narrow range of wheat germplasm with only three major introgressions as refl ected in three ancestral families (Marquis in 1908; introduced Thatcher in 1935; and Neepawa in 1969; Table 1). In contrast, wheat breeding from other countries, such as”
