Advanced technologies impacting the green development of seed industries.
The agriculture of the future will be impacted by concepts, methods and expectations far beyond conventional agricultural systems. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) point strongly to the need of agriculture and related industries to embrace new practices and new criteria of performance, with more balanced attention to the three dimensions of sustainability – economic, social and environmental. The good news is that the technological standards of agriculture are being changed by the introduction of fast-paced advances in scientific knowledge. Scientific revolutions are happening in biology with genomics, in physics and chemistry with nanotechnology, in information technology and communication, with numerous innovations that increase our ability to respond to risks and challenges. Considering these advances and the gradual emergence of a cleaner, decarbonized, green economy, the expectation is that agriculture´s important domains, such as plant breeding, cultivar development and their related seed industry will be faced with a new set of standards and requirements, and increasing expectations for innovations to lower impact and drive food systems towards a sustainable future.
