Areas associated with sustainable development • Future strategies for conventionally-bred and genetically modified crops • Prospects for organic crop production Renewable energy • Agricultural policy and environmental sustainability • Policy change effects on farming practices These should be attempted to: • Define the factors contributing to agricultural sustainability using examples from the current scientific literature.’ • To assess how different inputs from scientific research could influence the future of sustainable crop production • Critically assess how important scientific research is likely to be in comparison to policy and politics Recent examples of breakthroughs that have improved or have the potential to improve sustainable arable agriculture, (e.g. GM approaches for improving drought tolerance, nutrient use efficiency or photosynthetic efficiency), it must be considered to include a paragraph on the effects of economic policies and legislation on sustainable agriculture. Include an integrating section towards the end of the paper demonstrating how these technologies might be combined with other technologies to improve sustainable arable agriculture. Which factors will affect the sustainable arable agriculture? Prospects for sustainable crop production Sustainability & Prospects for plant breeding in the 21st century Prospects for genetically modified crops Prospects for organic cropping systems
