Advances in Agricultural Reseach in World
Synopsis
Science and technology helped revolutionize agriculture in the 20th century in many parts of the world. This issue of Economic Perspectives highlights how advances in biotechnology can be adapted to benefit the world in the 21st century, particularly developing countries. Increasing yield potential and desirable traits in plant and animal food products has long been a goal of agricultural science. That is still the goal of agricultural biotechnology, which can be an important tool in reducing hunger and feeding the planet's expanding and longer-living population, while reducing the adverse environmental effects of farming practices. In a supportive policy and regulatory environment, biotechnology has enormous potential to create crops that resist extreme weather, diseases and pests; require fewer chemicals; and are more nutritious for the humans and livestock that consume them. But there is also controversy surrounding this new technology. The journal addresses the controversies head on and provides sound scientific reasoning for the use of this technology.
