AGRICULTURE, AGROCHEMICALS AND THE URBAN INTERFACE

Agriculture is a devastating human activity. It destroys natural habitats and annihilates plant and animal species. The demand for food and fiber has always had priority over nature preservation. The current agricultural challenges are the scarcity of land, the preservation of original Nature, and the use of modern agricultural technology: plant breeding, use of agrochemical and mechanization of farming. The example from the Green Revolution commencing more than 60 years ago shows us what we can do now and in the future, and how to avoid some of the too problematic side effects of agricultural production.
