How can we improve nutrient use efficiency in crop production systems? How will we reduce soil loss and degradation, mobilize genetic diversity for crop improvement, optimize water use in agriculture, improve food animal genetics, develop precision livestock production systems, improve nutritional value of agricultural products, detect and prevent plant and animal diseases and foodborne pathogens, and reduce food loss and waste throughout the supply chain?

However, getting to that point involves the complex endeavor of many people working together toward a common goal in a sustained way. One of the respondents to the Panel's preliminary observations remarked on a research group at Colorado State University where investigators study interdisciplinary scientific teams, in real time, to advance a predictive theory of what makes teams successful.

Team science competencies include several domains: trusted and genuine relationships, communication, collaborative knowledge generation, collective problem solving, team management, and team co-leadership. Doing participatory team science requires commitment and patience because it takes time to build relationships and trust, create a shared vision, and overcome the many barriers to participatory research.
