European Agricultural Research in the 21st Century de Guy Paillotin

European Agricultural Research in the 21st Century: Which Innovations Will Contribute Most to the Quality of Life, Food and Agriculture?

Guy Paillotin

Jointly published with INRA, Paris.

What will people eat in the future and how can the food requirements in terms of quantity and quality be met? This EU-based study elucidates the need for a productivity level that will make agriculture competitive on the market and yet is reconciled with the need to manage natural resources and lands wisely. In this book the necessary changes for European agriculture from the biological, medical, economic and political perspective are discussed.
