Abstract No. AGRO162 Volume 80. page 116. http://www.agrodiv.org/picograms/?download=18.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: A sustainable society is one that can meet its needs while preserving natural resources for future generations. Key components of this goal are production of a robust food supply while protecting human health and the environment, conserving precious resources, and balancing economic viability. Rapid world-wide population growth will continue to challenge twenty-first century agriculture. Ensuring adequate food, fiber, and fuel for a growing population will require increased crop yields on less cultivated land, strain limited natural resources, and increase the need for continued advancement in more sustainable solutions through sound science. This presentation will discuss current sustainability initiatives, the role of science, available tools, and research needs.
