📢 So great to see OryzaNet Lead Prof Erik Murchie's work on rice research and helping to fight the climate crisis recognised in The Independent - Climate 100 list for 2026 📢
The climate 100 is The Independents list of the world’s leading environmentalists, marking the campaigners, change makers and innovators who are making a positive and significant difference to turn the tide on the climate crisis. It’s published this week to coincide with Climate Week NYC, where The Independent will also be holding its own Climate 100 event.
Professor Erik Murchie of the University of Nottingham is among the leading scientists developing a new type of rice that can be resistant to long periods of drought. A long-time researcher and lecturer on crop science, Murchie said that climate change is a major threat to global food systems and we will soon need crops that can resist its worst impacts.
