the machinery sowing this new revolution includes supercomputers, molecular biology and arrays of sensors. Here, BBC Future profiles four areas of research to discover how close they are to feeding the coming nine billion.
supercomputers. Long's team broke photosynthesis down into a long series of mathematical equations and fed them to the National Center for Supercomputer Applications in Illinois. The supercomputer whirred through the numbers and spat out a list of"best-bet
 interventions. For example, one potentially easy win they identified was to dial up production of just a single protein known as sedoheptulose bisphosphatase, or SBPASE.
Oil and gas companies were early innovators in supercomputing and data visualization and analysis, which are crucial to todays oil and gas exploration efforts.
Using supercomputer simulations she and her team are working to model tornadoes on a very fine scale tracking their movements to within 165 to 245 feet (50 to 75 meters).
A supercomputer processes the combined data and generates a four-dimensional mathematical model derived from the physics of the atmosphere.
By combining supercomputing and Big data analytics with other technological innovations even farmers with modest means can bolster production and profits.
