For the first of these, an ad hoc committee will organize a public workshop on meeting the intertwined challenges of increasing food and energy resources in a context of environmental stress, in which participants will: • Identify a small number of concrete problems for the New Biology to solve -- problems that are important and urgent (and therefore inspirational) , intractable with current knowledge and technology, but perhaps solvable in a decade.
