ABOUT US
The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed. – William Gibson
The Future of Agriculture Virtual Think Tank researches past, present and future trends and good examples in the agriculture sector. It seeks to provide evidence from existing and emergent actions and data to support sustainable futures. In Asia today, there are innumerable examples of cropping, livestock, aquaculture, forestry, water and soil management, value chain systems, certifications, policies and financial incentives that are parts of a sustainable future. Some of these are under Organic Agriculture, Green Foods, Natural Foods, eco-certification and others that are on the cutting edge of the future. Highlighting successes and areas for improvement will accelerate the adaptation and adoption of the future that is already here today.
