“These
Contributions
by
internationally
recognized
agriculture
experts
on
the
future
prospects
of
biotechnology
emphasize
the
many
challenges
in
the
next
half-century:
climate,
energy,
food,
land
degradation,
and
loss
of
biodiversity—all
exacerbated
by
population
increases
demanding
dramatic
improvements
in
food
security,
particularly
in
the
developing
world
and
semi-arid
tropics.

By
the
year
2050,
there
will
be
more
than
9
billion
people
in
the
world;
nearly
3
billion
more
than
today. The
world’s
population
will
increase
by
over
700
million
in
the
next
10
years
–
much
of
it
in
regions
which
are
currently
in
a
food
deficit. How
can
governments
ensure
a
secure
and
stable
food
supply
for
their
citizens? Can
current
agricultural
production
practices
and
technologies
provide
for
an
expanding
population
in
a
sustainable
manner? In
the
February
2010
summit
of
the
Organization
for
Economic
Cooperation
and
Development
(OECD),
agricultural
ministers
recognized
the
necessity
that
“innovation,
including
transfer
of
technologies,
is
fostered
in
order
to
increase
productivity,
enhance
efficiency,
improve
sustainable
resource
use,
respond
to
climate
change
and
reduce
waste
including
through
balanced
protection
of
intellectual
property
rights,
and
a
regulatory
environment
conducive
to
innovation
and
new
technology.”
Technology alone cannot solve problems associated with food supply and distribution – they have not done so in the past, and will not do so in the future. But biotechnological innovations have played crucial roles, and will do so in the future. Students of many disciplines and the general public are interested in examining the development and adoption of innovative biotechnologies applied in agriculture in the world’s largest economies and in developing countries, which are themselves changing rapidly to address these concerns. We are now approaching two decades of experience of deployment of transgenic crops in agroecosystems, and we are still very much in the early stages of technological development, deployment and adoption of resulting plants (cereals, vegetables and trees). What are these biotechnologies today that can enhance agricultural productivity and produce medicines, how are they currently deployed, what are some near-term realistic expectations, if these biotechnologies are to be a part of sustainable agriculture?
