Biotechnology In Sustainable And Organic Farming

Biotechnology In Sustainable And Organic Farming

Sustainable agriculture can feed the world without damaging the environment or threatening human health. It is a way of growing food in an ecologically and ethically responsible manner. Sustainable crop production practices can lead to higher yields over time, with less need for expensive and environmentally damaging inputs. Organic farming can generally be classified as sustainable agriculture. A challenge of our generation is the creation of an efficient system providing sustainable food and fuel from the land whilst also preserving biodiversity and ecosystems. Agricultural biotechnology is one tool that holds potential promise to alleviate hunger and poverty. However, there are complex and interrelated scientific, social, political and ethical questions regarding the widespread use of biotechnology in the food supply. This book will interest students, professionals and researchers from the areas of bioengineering, agriculture and ecosystem science to economics and political science.
