terms of agricultural production.
A second critical issue to highlight is the central role played by industrial systems
of agricultural production in causing climate change, in particular through massive emissions from industrial meat production, production and use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, and large - scale monocultures of commodities shipped around the world.

forms of agricultural production.»
The
epicenter of agricultural production has moved north and west over the past half - century, and that trend will likely continue at an accelerated pace due to global warming, a new study finds.
Therefore, in this chapter we discuss observed and expected patterns of change for each of the major
types of agricultural production rather than applying the climate trends equivalently across agricultural topics.

resilience of agricultural production.
The subsequent industrial revolution enabled the
skyrocketing of agricultural production, which provided a continuous (over) supply of calories for every society member for the first time in human history.
Finally, why is the discussion always on how future agricultural production can meet population growth, never on how population growth can be curtailed to meet the
limits of agricultural production?
Not to put a damper on your conclusion here, but I believe that much of the concern about the Keystone XL pipeline lies in the threat of leaks to plains aquifers and the water supply for millions of people and a large

«At Rothamsted, not only do we aim to advance knowledge on how to minimise negative
impacts of agricultural production, as exemplified by the current paper, but also on how to optimise the positive contribution grazing livestock can bring to us as part of a well - designed food supply chain.»
