Abstract:	"Leaders of international institutions, governments, and people interested in agriculture are increasingly concerned about the need to augment agricultural production and food production, in particular, to meet the demand of the world population, which presently exceeds four billion people. It is estimated that the population will double by the year 2015 if the same growth rate is maintained. Probably not a single day passes on which a meeting is not held in an international forum of in an office of a Ministry of Agriculture or Planning to analyze the magnitude of the problem and to take initiatives leading to the solution of these difficulties."
