2010 National Policy Conference

Modern Agriculture: Exploring its Relationship with Technology, Science & Society
 

CropLife America’s National Policy Conference, Modern Agriculture: Exploring its Relationship with Technology, Science & Society brings together leading experts in the fields of agriculture, food safety and security to offer diverse perspectives and frank discussion on all issues facing modern agriculture.

Innovation in agriculture from production through distribution will make it possible to sustainably feed a world of 9.1 billion inhabitants by 2050. But achieving this monumental task requires embracing all production practices, including conventional and organic agriculture, for producers of all sizes, ranging from subsistence farmers to modern producers. It also requires substantial focus and investment from both public and private entities.

The world has the resources and technology to eradicate hunger and ensure longterm food security for all, but all relevant stake holders need to mobilize political will to debate the necessary questions to ensure that key decisions on investment and policies to eradicate hunger are solved and the solutions are implemented effectively. This global challenge must be addressed by innovation and collaboration across political borders.

Unless the right decisions are made today we risk finding the global cupboard dangerously bare tomorrow.
