Cultivating food for a developing world.

Particularly in population-rich but land-short countries like China and India, increasing crop yields per unit of land and time has become both an ecological and economic imperative. In advocating the need to blend traditional and frontier technologies to develop ecologically sustainable farming systems to improve productivity, this paper draws on and discusses the following concerns: land use and soil health; water management; integrated systems of energy (renewable and non-renewable) management; integrated nutrient supply systems (including rotations, green manures, biofertilizers and N fixing crops); genetic diversity and location-adapted cultivars; integrated pest management and use of botanical pesticides; postharvest systems; systems approach involving integrated attention to crop and livestock farming and to agroforestry and aquaculture; and location specific farming systems research and development.
