Researchers have mixed responses on the current extent of the air pollution problem in relation to its impact on vegetation. We know that injury occurs in many sensitive native and domestic plant species throughout the country. We do not know how severe the long term pollution effects will be on domestic species, on the frequency or distribution of native species, or on the complex interactions between native species and the effects of these interactions on plant communities. Much research is needed in this area before we can adequately speculate on the future of agricultural production. 

The future of agricultural production is discussed with relatively little data base to work from and in the light of possible future levels of air pollution. We can visualize the situation in the eastern seaboard states for the photochemical oxidants and sulfur oxides. The following discussion assumes no major impact of other pollutants. However, they could be important.

So what is the future of agricultural aviation The author remains confident that aircraft provide a viable and efficient means of pesticide delivery in a wide range of environments and situations. How then should aerial application be managed to reduce the potential threat of off-target damage and spray drift ...

Caffeine. About 3% by weight of the roasted coffee bean is caffeine (16). The second U.S. Department of Agriculture world coffee crop estimate for 1988—1989 was 4.24 x 10 kg (93.3 million 100-lb bags) (102). World coffee consumption was predicted to rise in the foreseeable future at the rate of 1—2% per year and thus the total amount of caffeine and related alkaloids ingested from this source can also be expected to increase. Caffeine and related bases (eg, theophylline) are also found in various teas but, because most of the major producers (India, China, etc) export relatively Htfle of thek crops and keep most for domestic consumption, accurate figures on year-to-year production are more difficult to obtain. Nevertheless, these crops are of significant economic import (103). 

Sustainable Agriculture. The third factor that will influence the future of pesticide sales is the emphasis on sustainable agriculture systems that rely on more natural pest control methods and reduced pesticide usage. These are integrated systems that requke nutrients and crop protection chemicals from on-farm natural sources and cultural methods. Many current sustainable farms are site-specific systems that may depend on the soils in a... 

As to the future of organics, I remain optimistic. The barley plain is in retreat, and one hopes that some farmers will revert to a more sustainable mode of agriculture. It is here that Jon Newton s book will prove invaluable, setting technical standards and advising on finance, marketing and sales. 

Some of the economic problems that confront the chemical industry and some practical problems of agriculture and society in general, resulting from the use of newer economic poisons, are discussed. Above all else, more facts are needed upon which to base both present procedures and future studies. 

This work is not an attempt to look at the past and future of the pesticide problem from the environmental point of view. After the general discussion of pesticides properties and use in the USSR (Chapter 1), we look successively at the unexpected consequences of pesticide use, for the natural environment, humans, and for agriculture itself.This work concludes with Lessons Learned from Pesticides, food for thought for policymakers, ecologists, and farmers. 

It is well known that crop management systems, the quality of the soil and the weathering conditions are just some of the factors used in order to assess production of GHG. Therefore, an understanding of the future environmental impacts of crop production is essential in order to achieve greater crop yields without decreasing the quality of the environment and social welfare. Additionally, Tilman [2] reported that the recent intensification of agriculture, coupled with the prospect of even further intensification in the future, will have major detrimental impacts on the world s ecosystems. 

Since indicators for energy balance have been less explored than the others, some consideration will be devoted to them Spedding et al. (1981) stated that the single most important aspect of agricultural efficiency in the future is likely to be that of energy use.
