      abstract = {Most future increases in global demand for food are  expected to
arise by 2050. By that time, demand could  increase by 2.5 to 3.0
times the present level. Given  present knowledge about agricultural
production,  prospective global supplies of land, water, plant
genetic,  and climate resources will be insufficient to meet  future
demand at acceptable economic and environmental  costs. Nor
will extending natural resource supplies by  increased conservation
of these resources suffice. The only  hope of sustainably meeting
future food needs is through  investment to expand knowledge of
agricultural production  and its environmental consequences.},
