Agricultural Practices are Affecting the Environment and Environmental Degradation Threatens Agricultural Productivity
Can irrigation practices be improved?
How will the loss of genetic diversity impact future agricultural needs?
Key questions: Can crop performance / traits (e.g., temperature, drought, pest and salinity tolerance), animal and fish traits be improved – what are the roles of environmental management, plant breeding and modern biotechnology?
Can post-harvest losses be decreased?
What is the potential of organic farming/ agroecology?
