World Community Grid launched a new project, tackling world hunger. Nutritious Rice for the World is studying the structure of rice proteins to help inform cross-breeding efforts. "The intent is to help farmers breed better rice strains with higher crop yields, promote greater disease and pest resistance, and utilize a full range of bioavailable nutrients that can benefit people around the world, especially in regions where hunger is a critical concern."
The World Community Grid is a grid computing project whose mission "[...] is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity." Their current projects are Nutritious Rice for the World, AfricanClimate@Home, Help Conquer Cancer, Discovering Dengue Drugs – Together, FightAIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding Phase 2.
