ISHS Acta Horticulturae 211: The Role of Horticulture in Meeting the Food Demands of AD 2000, XXII IHC

THE ROLE OF HORTICULTURE IN MEETING THE FOOD DEMANDS OF AD2000: THE CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO FRUIT PRODUCTION

Author:   J.E. Jackson
Abstract:
Four factors control the contribution which fruit research and development can make to production by the year 2000. These are:-
  • Consumer demands: the market for produce
  • Production opportunities: the technical opportunities to meet the demands
  • Producer constraints: the economic and social framework
  • Timescale

These provide the framework within which we can look at the targets for research and development on fruit. Scientific advances are made, as a rule, within the context of a scientific discipline. Effective applied research depends on consideration of the scientific opportunities in relation to economic and social perspectives.
