Rethinking Agriculture
Project Scope
The article "Food Production, Crops, and Sustainability: Restoring Confidence in Science and Technology" discusses the challenges faced by the agriculture sector, such as food production, crop cultivation, and sustainability concerns, as the global population grows and the demand for food increases. The author, Huub Spiertz, examines how agricultural practices have progressed since the 1950s and continued to advance to meet future food demands. He emphasizes the importance of restoring confidence in these practices to foster the adoption of sustainable agricultural methodologies. The diagram illustrates the transitions from conventional agriculture practices to agrotechnology integration for modern breeding and subsequently towards the advancements of biotechnology solutions for sustainable agriculture. Conflicts and dilemmas within each practice stage are highlighted in green and orange polarizing arrow shapes as various agrotechnologies and biotechnologies are introduced to meet future food demands.
