Agricultural technology
The role of technology in sustainable agriculture
An article asserting that technology in sustainable agriculture will increase productivity. The piece discusses the history of agricultural technology such as genetically modified organisms and other innovations.Based upon the premise that human population growth will not be constrained as a result of food shortages due to overriding social values, this article makes three assertions regarding the role technology in sustainable agriculture:
- Technology has/will increase agricultural productivity
- Technology development has-been/will-be sustainable
- Technology is, therefore, the basis for Sustainable Agriculture
