Food and Nutrition Security
With the global population expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, the world will need almost double the amount of food that is available today. And yet in recent years, achieving food security for the already 7 billion people living on Earth has become increasingly difficult because of complex scientific, economic, social, political and environmental factors.In partnership with researchers and policy makers around the world, Discovery Park researchers are investigating the causes and consequences of food insecurity and devising ways to increase food production. They’re focusing their efforts in the following areasFood SecurityEnacting sound policies to combat food insecurity requires deep knowledge of its complex causes. Interdisciplinary research and dialogue between researchers and policymakers are keys to this understanding. Read about our success.Plant SciencesNew discoveries in plant genomics and genetics hold the promise of improving crop yields, nutrition and resistance to disease, particularly in the wake of climate change.Nutrition：Food shortages and distribution problems lead to not only famine and hunger, but also malnutrition. New technologies – some surprisingly simple and cheap – are combating malnutrition among some of the world’s most vulnerable populations.Smart Farming:Smart farming – from predictive analytics to controlled environment agriculture – allows growers to increase the quality and quantity of crops using fewer resources. Working alongside producers, researchers are helping to increase agricultural productivity in sustainable ways.Policy and Regulation;Food security is dependent upon having food available, being able to obtain it, and being able to safely prepare it. Through partnerships with policymakers, researchers are examining ways to improve food availability, access and safety.

到2050年，全球人口预计将达到96亿，世界将需要几乎现在的食物量的两倍。而近年来，由于复杂的科学、经济、社会、政治和环境因素，实现了已有70亿人生活在地球上的粮食安全问题变得越来越困难。Discovery Park研究人员与世界各地的研究人员和决策者合作，正在调查粮食不安全的原因和后果，并设法增加粮食生产。他们的工作重点在以下几个方面：食品安全：制定健全的政策来打击粮食不安全需要深入了解其复杂的原因。研究人员和决策者之间的跨学科研究与对话是理解的关键。植物科学：植物基因组学和遗传学的新发现具有提高作物产量，营养和抗病能力的前景，特别是在气候变化之后。营养：粮食短缺和分配问题不仅导致饥荒和饥饿，还导致营养不良。新技术 - 一些令人惊讶的简单和便宜 - 正在打击一些世界上最脆弱人群的营养不良。智能农业：智能农业 - 从预测分析到受控环境农业 - 允许种植者使用更少的资源提高作物的质量和数量。与生产者一起工作，研究人员正在以可持续的方式帮助提高农业生产力。政策法规：粮食安全取决于能够获得食物，能够获得食物，并能够安全地做好准备。研究人员通过与政策制定者的伙伴关系，正在研究如何改善食物供应，获取和安全。
The Science of Climate and Resilience
The challenge
The complex interdependencies of social institutions, diverse natural ecosystems, and modern technology have produced a vast network of nested, hierarchical, self-organizing and adaptive systems that are pillars of modern civilization. Rapid global changes, including both long-term changes such as anthropogenic climate change as well as more short term changes such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or other sudden “shocks,” pose an increasing threat to these interdependent systems and the communities that rely on them. In addition, these agricultural, built infrastructure, ecological, and social systems interact in complex and unpredictable ways, increasing the importance of more scientific understanding of their coupled behaviors and potentially catastrophic failures in the face of large sudden or long term changes in the environment. Resilience is a system’s ability to maintain a desired level of functioning in the face of a wide range of perturbations, such as environmental changes or sudden crises. In this interconnected world facing rapidly changing conditions, understanding the factors that make systems more resilient is crucial.Scholars working on the science of climate and resilience bring specialized research in the areas of:Building Sustainable Communities：A new interdisciplinary research community focused on creating community resilience in the face of natural disasters collaborated as a part of the Building Sustainable Communities cluster hire and research initiative. The group concentrated on topics ranging from transportation infrastructure designs, the role of social networks, and how small businesses are able to respond to natural disasters effectively.Social Decision-making and Sustainability：A Purdue University-led survey of nearly 700 U.S. scientists from non-climate disciplines shows that more than 90 percent believe that average global temperatures are higher than pre-1800s levels and that human activity has significantly contributed to the rise.Coupled Natural-Human Systems Interactions:A mathematical model now allows researchers to better understand and plan infrastructure design to account for human factors in systems ranging from small-scale agriculture to urban infrastructure.Policy and Regulation;Purdue researchers traveled to the Paris Climate Summit (COP21) in 2015 to learn about groups who are often marginalized and underrepresented in international decision-making arenas. At the summit, they addressed pressing justice, equity, and rights issues within international environmental negotiations.

Now, the university’s $250 million investment in the life sciences over the next five years will provide increased opportunities for our researchers to coalesce and strengthen their impact.Working across disciplinary boundaries, Discovery Park faculty are focusing their research in the following key areas:Implantable and Wearable Devices;Implantable and wearable devices are enhancing real-time diagnostics in surgical environments and advancing our understanding of the biological processes associated with disease and health.Nanosensors and the Internet of Things (IoT):Nanosensors – devices that can sense nanoparticles, like individual cancer cells – are enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Internet of Things (IoT) – an interrelated system of computers, machines and people – is improving patient care by giving healthcare professionals access to real-time, integrated data.Systems Engineering:In partnership with healthcare professionals, engineers and IT professionals are helping to improve patient care by bringing systems engineering to hospitals.Cognitive Computing:Cognitive computing – the ability of computers to simulate human thought – is bringing advanced healthcare training to remote areas like battlefields and small towns.Policy and Regulation:New ways to integrate data analysis with medical care are helping to improve healthcare quality and patient safety.
数字健康
医疗保健正在快速发展，这在很大程度上归功于数字健康的兴起 - 技术和基因组革命的汇合，从而提高患者的效率，改善治疗和赋予个人能力。普渡研究人员已经利用新技术在癌症治疗，创伤性脑损伤诊断和患者安全等领域取得进展。现在，该大学在未来五年投资2.5亿美元的生命科学将为研究人员提供更多的机会，以巩固和加强其影响力。探索公园的教师们跨学科界限，将研究重点放在以下关键领域：可植入和可穿戴设备、可植入和穿戴式装置正在加强手术环境中的实时诊断，并提高我们对与疾病和健康相关的生物过程的理解。纳米传感器和物联网(IoT)：纳米传感器 - 可以感测纳米颗粒(如单个癌细胞)的装置正在加强疾病的诊断和治疗。物联网(IoT) - 一个相互关联的计算机，机器和人员系统 - 正在通过为医护人员提供实时的综合数据来改善患者的护理。系统工程与医疗保健专业人士合作，工程师和IT专业人员通过将系统工程引入医院来帮助改善患者护理。认知计算：认知计算 - 计算机模拟人类思维的能力 - 将高级医疗培训带到偏远地区，如战场和小城镇。政策法规：将数据分析与医疗保健相结合的新途径有助于提高医疗质量和患者安全。
Social/Policy Innovations That Improve Security
Global conflict and security issues have dimensions that are both technical and social in nature, and approaches that converge policy and technology innovations must be devised to find pathways to greater security. Issues ranging from evolving global terrorism to nuclear deterrence demand a greater contribution from world-class research universities that advance our understanding of security issues, how they may be prevented, and catalyze thinking on technologies best suited to deterrence. The I-GSDI will partner with the Purdue Policy Research Institute (PPRI) and other assets to promote new thinking at the nexus of technology and policy to enable the national security community to see over the horizon and beyond the current state-of-the-art and to evaluate the social and policy implications of new technologies.IMPACTING GLOBAL SECURITY"Third Offset" and Advanced TechnologiesRapid Innovation and Training EcosystemSocial/Policy Innovations That Improve Security
