Assessing Which Agriculture Technologies Can Feed The World – with Claudia Ringler
Is a resell of food crisis 2007, 2008, and again 2010, 2011. Food security and double for production particularly home can be feed nine billion people in 2050, with small sustainable production methods and so that people can afford the food. So basically we have to increase yields that has come back on the forefront of the global development agenda, what we have been trying to look into is you know which agriculture technologies. Would make a difference the agriculture technology debate is polarized, so we have on the one hand the people who to believe that the organic farming. That is basically the only path to sustainable development and on the other hand. The other hand of the polarized debated, you have the schools and the followers of events, engineering, geo crops and looking for laser land leveling precision agriculture really and looking and towards in a way innovative technologies only without taking into account the indigenous knowledge and traditional technologies.
Really, the goal is to bring this more polarized debated, to be back together. Showing meant really a variety of technologies work in a variety of settings. Based on a literally review and talking to a lot of agriculture experts we have, just come up was just a series of key technologies. That be believed have can make a difference, and different developing regions. Really being aware that there is no fantasy out there and that what a technology like in integrate its offer to the management. That we have shown to show a lot of potential in such an south Africa, might be of less interest in the region like Brazil, where still is not only very promising but has also been adopted at a very large scale. So all across all these technologies which make sense where, in terms of yields, in terms of conductivity, in terms of labor-saving, but also in terms of environmental impacts, because the focus really is to produce more with is less soldier to reduce environmental footprint.
So on such results will be basically available in the former from a policy modeling tool on the web. So policymakers, researchers, investment banks and the private sector, you can just go to the side click on the country. Look at the relative impacts of the various technologies so both in terms of yield, in terms of some of the environmental impacts. But also what, we believe are some of the economic costs to implement the particular technology. So what we hope you to reach a broad range of all factors and stockholders are interested in and increasing every culture productivity.
