Yields of Farmed Species: Constraints and Opportunities in the 21st Century
Yields of Farmed Species: Constraints and Opportunities in the 21st Century
Author(s): Wiseman And Sylvester-BradleyCan we expect the dramatic increases of the last century to continue? What are the yield potentials of the species which are farmed now? How will new technologies affect yields achieved in future decades? To what extent will pests, pathogens, competing demands for resources, or scruples about farming processes, curtail our ability to innovate in the production of food? Solutions to these and other issues are debated in this volume.
