Flour Power to Boost Food Security
Discussion Points
- Why does wheat production play such a huge roll in markets and food security around the world?
- Why is this new finding so significant to world food security?
- Explain how this new process increases production and nutritional value of flour.
- This is a remarkable finding for flour production in wheat. Think about other crops and how we might be able to find genes to increase production, increase nutrition, decrease waste, protect the environment, etc. Share your thoughts and discuss the possibilities!

What happens if people don't like this new flour product? What if all of this work was for nothing?
its so important because raising the amount by ten percent is a lot
20 per cent of the total calories and proteins consumed worldwide.
10 per cent more wheat can be produced from wheat now
Professor Robert Henry and his team had pinpointed the genes that control a cell protein, holding the wheat grain’s endosperm.
A plant that could benefit from this could be bananas, they already give a significant amount of bananas but even more would aid in food security.
This development plays a roll in food security as it produces the production capacity of wheat in a way that allows for the wheat to keep its nutrition but its easier to process
Wheat production plays such a huge roll in markets and food security around the world because wheat is the leading temperature climate crop and provides 20% of the total calories and proteins consumed worldwide. Another reason it is a huge roll around the world is because it is used to make many food products like bread. This new finding is so significant to world food security because now they can take high-yielding wheat that traditionally has been considered unsuitable for milling, can now be used as milling wheat.
The researcher at Queensland Alliance for agriculture and food innovation where they found the control cell protein acts like a glue which holds the wheats endosperm, wheat germ and bran layers together. The effect of the adhesion protein gives us 70 percent of wheat when milling to 80 percent which is a big difference.
Flour plays a large roll in food markets because is one of the leading crops and also it accounts for 20% of all calories consumed nation wide
I think that this kind of wheat should be used because it can make a lot more and we need food for future generations and wheat provides 20% of the worlds calories.
700 million tonnes are produced globally each year.
i had no idea flour could boost food security.
I didn't know wheat provides 20% of the worlds calories.
I had no idea that wheat provided 20% of our calories and proteins. I didn't realize how much the world depends on wheat
Flour plays a large roll in the food market because it provides 20% of the total calories and proteins consumed nationwide. Flour is used in a large portion of foods being served all over the world.
A researcher at Queensland Alliance found a control cell protein that acts as a glue that hold together the wheat endosperm and bran layers The effect of this protein gives 10% more wheat when refining
It's amazing how many different genes of yield there is in flour, but also that there trying to make a healthier by making a new flour.
I think we should stay with the same wheat and not change it because no one really had a problem and people may not even like/care for this new wheat. what happens if it may cause diseases? then we have to go back to the wheat that we originally had from the get go.
Before this i didn't know that wheat provided 20% of calories and proteins that we consume. I never knew that wheat was such an important crop across the world.
increase the amount of flour produced from wheat by as much as 10 per cent.
Wheat flour is already better than white flour. White flour has almost no nutrients, and is basically empty calories.
they misspelled percent, other wise i think it is a good thing and more people should know about it
The amount of calories wheat provides for people shocks me. I never knew that wheat provided us with 20% of our calories.
It's crazzy that they only milled the wheat and it incresed by 10 percent.
its amazing how wheat increased %10
