This is a comment from Olivier De Schutter of the U.N.
"'We set up our farming techniques in the 1920s when we thought there would be a never-ending supply of cheap oil,' he said. 'Now we are facing a situation where expensive oil and gas and the influence of climate change on yields are scaring us.'"
Henshaw, Caroline, 2011. Farmers must be weaned off using oil, says u.n. expert. The Wall Street Journal, Mar. 8.
I think the influence of data-driven agriculture and supply chain management will have a huge effect on farming during the next 50 years.
I believe that technological solutions are the answer.
