The need for technological development in agriculture to achieve sustainable intensification is on the agenda of governments and international bodies. New technologies and their adoption by farmers are key drivers in maintaining agriculture competitive in a global world. While the potential of technological development for sustainability of agriculture is recognized, there is a global trend toward increased regulations of new technologies in agriculture, particularly bi-technologies that result in genetically modified organism (GMOs), be it for concerns about their safety or ethical and social concerns. Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture Production offers the compilation of research articles on the latest chemical and biochemical knowledge and how this can be transfered to practical applications in agriculture with the ultimate aim of addressing the problem of how we will sustain a growing world population.
