10. The state of agriculture reflects our future

When it comes to pollution and climate change, the environment and agriculture suffer the quickest and with the most clear consequences. If effective changes aren’t made, climate change’s impact on agriculture will decimate a country’s economy and eventually wipe out the food supply. To get a better idea about where humanity is going to end up, look at agriculture. What’s being done to adapt to a rapidly-changing climate? What will our food supply look like? The state of agriculture is a good litmus test of what we can expect the future to look like.

The Bottom Line

From the above excerpt, it’s evident that the importance of agriculture cannot be overstated. As scientists continue to discover new procedures to increase crop and livestock yields, increase overall food quality, and reduce loss due to insects and diseases, we can safely say that agricultural research still has a long way to go. Through continued studies and research on agriculture, our standard of living can improve significantly. And the greatest benefactor to all this will be everyone and everything that relies on agriculture, including economies.
