Agricultural development needs a new direction
The 21st century needs to be the era when agriculture comes to a crossroad because current setting are unsustainable – this is the main conclusion of the research project carried out by a team of international experts, supported by the goverment.
The research project titled Agriculture has come to a crossroad was presented by Greenpeace within the compass of a press conference. Climate change, hunger and poverty, loss of biodiversity, forest destruction, water crises, food safety – what all these threats have in common is that a principal cause for each of them is in the way we produce, trade, consume and discard food and other agricultural products. However, agriculture is not high on the agenda of media, politicians, financial institutions or many environmental organisations. Yet, none of the major global challenges ahead of us will be met without profound and lasting changes of today’s dominant agricultural practices and food policies.
