| Abstract: | There is a wide spectrum of views on possible futures for world agriculture, with a clear division between neoclassical and ecological economics approaches to the issue. An incremental approach, characteristic of neoclassical economics, focuses on steady yield increases as a result of technological progress and increased input use. In this view, there are no inherent limits to growth and therefore an optimistic view tends to be taken of future production potential. |
