摘要

The cornucopia of benefits brought by science and technology to agriculture in the present century seems almost without limit. Prosperity for the farmer and better and cheaper food resulting in more nutritious and balanced diets for people are the broadest of the effects. The change in the economy of the farm is amazing: in 1920, 40% of the U.S. workforce labored inside the farm gate; in 1995, about 1.8% does so. Even more amazing is that during this same time period, the productivity of the American farm skyrocketed. These beneficial developments are not without their undesirable and uncertain side effects, many of which came about due to public and private mismanagement rather than the technology of agriculture itself. As we discuss correcting those misfires, let us jump ahead to the first third of the next century to see how agriculture may change even further.
