Sustainability, Agricultural Production, Science and Technology

An editorial published in August 2021 in Nature Ecology and Evolution entitled “Agriculture isn’t all rocket science” stated that agriculture and food security do not need high-tech solutions and that low-tech solutions may be just as important as they have been for the COVID-19 pandemic. Perhaps the authors have forgotten that if the effects of the pandemic are no longer as devastating as they were in the beginning, the main merit is of a high-tech solution, i.e. mRNA vaccines.
