Agrifoods

Agricultural activities continue to play a large role in supporting households around the planet. Unfortunately, the Green Revolution in plant breeding, irrigation, and fertilization that has increased worldwide production of many crucial grains, has also taken a toll on both society and the environment. In addition, the industrialization of livestock and fish production has also increased their impact on local environments. With a growing world population, the development of agricultural systems that provide food security without devastating environmental and social systems has become critical to sustainable development. Debates over biotechnology and trade highlight the importance of this sector.
