The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology has published a new POSTnote on Trends in Agriculture.
In the last century, agriculture production intensified but this increased its impacts on the environment, waste in supply chains and in some regions of the world, disconnected it from people’s lives. Projections of global population growth and changing consumption patterns out to 2050 suggest further increases in food production will be needed.
The POSTnote outlines key drivers of global agricultural trends and the challenge of safeguarding both food production and environment value in changing world.
