Agroecology to the rescue of food security and germplasm
conservation in a global market economy AbstractThe chronic
crisis affecting modern agriculture is indicating that the
present paradigm of food production may not be viable in the
long term to insure food security on a global scale, despite the
brilliant outcomes achieved through the last several decades.
Dwindling fossil fuel resources are exacerbating an ongoing
crisis that has been lingering since the early 1970s. A recent
enthusiasm to revamp agriculture in the mid-west region of the
USA is focusing on ethanol production from corn (Zea mays) to
suffice for the need of biofuels but this trend has
significantly affected food costs. A presentation of the latest
review in agroecological research is offered in this work in
order to persuade stakeholders in agriculture about the
viability of agroecology to serve as a vehicle for achieving
food security and sustainability. Download InfoIf you experience
