Good idea (I hope), but as I am not connected with any academic institution,
I will not be able to submit. Perhaps someone else who is properly connected
can:
'One of the major problems with agriculture, particularly in the "developing
world," is that it means destruction of ecosystems and extinction or
degradation of organisms and their habitats. The major challenge for the
future should be the TRUE INTEGRATION of agriculture with ecosystems rather
than row-cropping plantations that destroy ecosystems in order to "increase
yield." Optimizing yield may be all that is required for subsistence
agriculture, leaving agribusiness, including much of so-called
"agro-ecology" or "ecological agriculture," which are often mere fronts for
exploitation, out of it entirely.'
