In the early 1990s, during the heyday of genetic engineering, plant scientists were on a quest to create crops with exceptional traits. They explored the possibilities of engineering crops for increased yields, and they even dabbled in creating plants that glew in the dark. As the threat of climate change loomed large, it was only natural that scientists ventured into genetic engineering to develop climate-resilient plants. However, they soon encountered difficulties. Climate change does not express itself uniformly across different regions, and extreme weather events such as droughts vary significantly: they can be hot or cold, dry or humid, brief or prolonged. Thus, climate-resilient crops could not be thought of as standard products. They had to be capable of responding to the complexity of local ecosystems and climate variability. "Remaking Agricultural ECO-Systems" is the story of environmental customization as a novel productive approach design to responds to this challenge.
