Synopsis "Sustaining Global Food Security: The Nexus of Science and Policy (in English)"
Population growth alone dictates that global food supplies must increase by over 50% in coming decades. Advances in technology offer an array of opportunities to meet this demand, but history shows that these can be fully realized only within an enabling policy environment. Sustaining Global Food Security makes a compelling case that recent technological breakthroughs can move the planet towards a secure and sustainable food supply only if new policies are designed that allow their full expression.Bob Zeigler has brought together a distinguished set of scientists and policy analysts to produce well-referenced chapters exploring international policies on genetic resources, molecular genetics, genetic engineering, crop breeding and protection, remote sensing, the changing landscape of agricultural policies in the world's largest countries, and trade. Those entering the agricultural sciences and those who aspire to influence public policy during their careers will benefit from the insights of this unique set of experiences and perspectives.Features: Up-to-date assessment of how modern plant and agricultural science, economics and policy may interact to affect global food securityContributors are internationally recognized experts in their fieldsIncludes international case studies on major crop species that will determine sustainable food production in areas where food security challenges remain the most serious (e.g. Africa and Asia)Ideally suited to those who look to apply science or policy to improve global food security over their careers.
