Abstract

Agriculture has prioritized productivity without considering the negative impact on the environment, in the quest to provide food for an ever-growing society. Sustainable and resilient options are needed to meet the demand for food. The technique of grafting has been used to increase crop productivity and has proven to be efficient. The grafting of tomato to potato is a promising option to obtain two products from the same plant, thus increasing food security. However, more research is needed on this novel technique.
