CONCLUDING REMARKS According to the United States Council on Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST), globally, agriculture faces unprecedented challenges such as increases in demand for livestock-based foods in Asia, climate change that threatens to decrease production capacity in many places around the world, and increasing demand due to continuing rapid population growth in some poor countries (Agricultural Productivity Challenges for the Future: Addressing U.S. and Global Challenges, CAST Issue Paper Number 45, January 2010).” More Free PowerPoint Templates at SmileTemplates.com
CONCLUDING REMARKS As a result, the most significant trend in the world today is that countries are planning on the assumption that food will NOT be cheap and easily available in the international market. Long-term food security based on local production is now a necessity. We are hopeful that the Department of Agriculture (DA) realizes this and will embrace our advocacies and that of other NGO’s.
