Title: Feeding the World and Protecting Biodiversity
Abstract: Conserving biodiversity while meeting the food, feed, and fuel needs of a growing human population with changing dietary preference is one of our society's grand challenges. Expansion and intensification that have accelerated since the 1960s has doubled crop production in many areas, but unfortunately, has come at a cost to the environment. This article summarizes the scope of agriculture, its effect on biodiversity, and strategies for feeding the world while maintaining biodiversity.
