چکیده
World food and agricultural production will have to increase substantially if the demand created by the combination of growing populations and rising incomes is to be met. Large-scale improvements in technology are needed if production targets are to be reached. But now that energy is so expensive, the new agricultural techniques and technologies must be as energy-efficient as possible. Research to provide the technology and policies needed is hampered because not enough is known scientifically about biological and behavioural factors.
