Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description More than four decades after the start of the Green
Revolution, agricultural scientists continue to face the
challenge of increasing food production to meet the
demands of a growing population, particularly in developing
countries. Of most concern to scientists is
that the sources of agricultural productivity growth
(improved varieties, fertilizer and water) have been in
use for the last two to three decades, but with no significant
yield gains, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
As the demand for food continues to increase, there
are now added requirements, not only to provide food
security for a growing population, but also to provide
more nutritious food to make protein, vitamins and
some essential minerals more available, particularly
for the most vulnerable communities such as households
affected by HIV/AIDS.
