Resources

Agricultural and food production is fundamentally about exploiting natural resources. Resource utilization in agriculture is especially important now and will continue to be in the future due to the scarcity of natural resources. Both agricultural land and water are becoming increasingly scarce resources worldwide. Increasing production on existing agricultural land is necessary, which demands a greater focus on resource utilization and increasing productivity. The richer and more developed a country, the higher the agricultural productivity. During economic growth, labor productivity increases while labor leaves agriculture. Increasing productivity in agriculture represents both an opportunity and a necessity. Increasing productivity is also achieved by new technology, but parallel to this, organic production and consumption is also an increasing trend. Technological advances resulting in increasing productivity and innovation is constantly driving the agricultural treadmill.
