“…\body Introduction Feeding the 9,000 million people expected to inhabit Earth by 2050 will present a constant and significant challenge in terms of agricultural pest management (1)(2)(3). Despite a 15-to 20-fold increase in pesticide use since the 1960s, global crop losses to pests-arthropods, diseases, and weeds-have remained unsustainably high, even increasing in some cases (4).…”

“…Se calcula que para 2050 la población humana de la Tierra será de aproximadamente 9 mil millones de habitantes, de forma que alimentarlos a todos adecuadamente se plantea como uno de los problemas más importantes de la actualidad (Ash et al, 2010;Butler, 2010). Para ello, se propone una nueva "revolución verde", esta vez a nivel global, en la que la ciencia y la tecnología jueguen un papel fundamental, a través de mejoras en los cultivos por modificaciones reproductivas y genéticas que incrementen la eficiencia fotosintética y reduzcan la necesidad de fertilizantes; desarrollo de nuevos métodos de control de plagas, enfermedades y control de malezas; mejores prácticas ganaderas que reduzcan las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (principalmente metano); innovaciones para la mejora de las técnicas de pesca y acuicultura; nuevos desarrollos en nanotecnología, genómica y electrónica dirigidas a optimizar el uso de los recursos agrícolas; cambios en la dieta y reducción del consumo de carne y productos lácticos, así como desarrollo de fuentes alternativas de proteínas, etc.…”

“…However, this increase in production will be able to occur only in association with increased availability of good-quality soils, ample freshwater, and more available nutrient inputs, as well as improvements in crop breeding technologies, integrative crop-livestock systems, sustainable intensification, and other inventive practices (Fedoroff et al, 2010;Godfray et al, 2010;Herrero et al, 2010;Tester and Langridge, 2010). Today, overconsumption and non-sustainable farming practices are widespread worldwide issues, and still global food demands are not being satisfied; instead, they are increasing (Ash et al, 2010). Already it is estimated that more than one billion people worldwide suffer from insufficient energy intake, and twice that number suffer from insufficient micronutrient intake (FAO, 2009;Barrett, 2010).…”
