This trip persuaded Thompson of the importance of ensuring food supply for the world population, and in 1920, he decided to establish the Institute for Plant Research. He wanted the institute to further the understanding of plants, to use this understanding for improving world food supply, and to promote conservation of natural areas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History Overview ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History Overview ) 〕
