AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH:

Important for each of us

The population of the planet has increased by more than 7 billion since the initiation of formal agricultural research in 1843. While there are many reasons that contribute to this phenomenal growth in population, the availability of food is certainly one of the key factors. The success of agriculture that made such growth possible has unquestionably depended

greatly on the success of agricultural research. Therefore, agricultural research has made possible many new lives, as well is making life better for each of us. In fact, agricultural research has affected each of us in some way at some time.
