| (Global Trends and Issues in Agribusiness) Agriculture around the globe is affected by climate change and globalization | True |
| Climate change effects, such as floods and droughts, affected our farmers’ ability to produce more sustainably | True |
| connects agriculture and market because it created dependency on international trade. This interconnectedness means that local farming practices have to adapt to global trends and market demands, pressuring smaller farmers, exacerbating inequalities. | Globalization |
| Key trends shaping global agriculture: | 1. Increasing population 2. Biotechnology/genetics 3. Climate change/environment 4. Security of food supplies 5. Health and wellness 6. Sustainability/renewables 7. Land and water constraints 8. More wealthier consumers |
| Population growth - 9.7B by 2050 which necessitates a significant boost in food production - This dramatic increase has a significant impact on food production because demand is more than the population (depend on population and income growths | True |
| Demand for diverse food rises. More people moving to urban areas drive need for efficient food supply/supply chains | Urbanization |
| (Changing diets) Growing middle-class populations (in developing countries) which lead to increased consumption of protein-rich foods. Requires more resources and innovation, especially in livestock production | True |
| (Shift toward sustainable and organic farming practices) Consumer awareness - Preference for organic and sustainably sourced products - For health and environmental concerns | True |
| (Sustainable agriculture practices) Planting crops sequentially on the same plot to improve soil health which are being driven out by the use of different chemicals, optimizing soil nutrients and combatting pests | Crop rotation |
| Plants are planted to cover the soil rather than for the purpose of being harvested. Manages soil erosions, soil fertility, soil quality | Cover cropping |
| Integrates trees, crops, pastures. Incorporates forestry and agricultural technology to enhance soil health and biodiversity | Agroforestry |
| (Certification and Standards) Provide framework for producers enabling them to meet consumer demand while ensuring fair practices | True |
| Using data and technology to optimize field-level management regarding crop farming. Making farming more precise and accurate with the use of right technology and equipment | Precision Agriculture |
| Agriculture is land and labor based results to inconsistency. Can monitor moisture levels, pest stress, soil conditions, and micro-climates | Precision Agriculture |
| Tools used for precision agriculture: | drones, GPS, IoT |
| Benefits of precision agriculture: | - Increase efficiency - Reduces waste - Enhance crop yields - While minimizing environmental impact |
| An animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. For higher yields, pest resistance, or drought tolerance. Farmers can use less pesticides | Genetically modified organism (GMO) |
| Gene-editing technology allows for precise alterations in crop genetics. Potentially leads to more resilient plant variants. These also face scrutiny over health and environmental concerns, normally highlighting need for transparency and regulations. | CRISPR Technology |
| A platform providing farmers with tools for better decision making (weather forecasts, analyzing market prices, pest management). Utilizes big data, optimizes production practices, and enhances supply chain | Agtech |
| An area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques including: - Genetic engineering - Molecular markets - Molecular diagnostics - Vaccines - Tissue culture | Agritech |
| A type of modern biotechnology used to modify the genome – or genetic material. Played a pivotal role in revolutionizing agriculture. Develop a desired trait in the recipient organism | Genetic engineering |
| Benefits of genetic engineering: | - Increased crop yields - Reduced costs for food - Reduced need for pesticides - Enhanced nutrient composition and food quality - Resistance to pests and disease - Greater food security - Medical benefits |
| The in vitro preservation and proliferation of isolated cells, tissues, or organs in a comfortable condition. Used to rapidly produce many identical new plants from one parent plant. | Tissue Culture |
| Using online platforms. Improves margins and brand loyalty | Direct-to-consumer sales |
