This book has been prepared for those seeking a better
understanding of the functioning of crop plants, particularly the
processes that lead to the genera tion of products valued by human
beings. The contributors, who are among the world's foremost
experts on the important crops upon which humanity depends for food
or fibre, address the relevant processes for their specific crop.
Currently, the world population is continuing to increase. It is
projected to plateau around the middle of the next century, and
while there is considerable controversy regarding the population
level when this plateau is achieved, most estimates are in the area
of 10 000 000 000. At present, there are about 800000000 people in
the world who do not have secure access to food. Over the last 50
years various aspects of agricultural research have been combined
to increase the output of world crops approximately 2.5-fold. Given
the need to feed the increasing population, and to provide better
access, it is predicted that during the next 50 years the
agricultural research community must repeat this achievement."
