Sustainability and the needs of 2050 agriculture: Developed and developing world perspectives

Abstract

Terry Stone presents several examples of progress achieved in developing countries by application of new technologies but also of continued stagnation and poor efficiencies caused by lack of infrastructure, poor resources and restrictions to adoption of modern technologies due to lack of information and low literacy. If the goal to double food production is to be achieved, then increases in agricultural productivity in both developing and developed nations are essential.
