Abstract:	Guaranteeing access to food for a growing human population - based on sustainability criteria and in the face of the climate change threat - is the main challenge for twenty-first-century agriculture. The solutions are inevitably complex, require a variety of coordinated measures, and essentially, are dependent on the progress of science and the development of technologies to make more efficient use of available resources to increase crop yields and food quality to feed the world. Technologies such as genomics, computing, robotics, and nanotechnology, along with their correct application - which will require highly qualified users - will also be crucial elements to reach these objectives.
