Every other day, the world population grows by the size of a capital city, such as Frankfurt, and requires increasing amounts of nutritional food supplies. Farming land, however, is only finitely available and cannot arbitrarily be increased.
This is where modern agricultural engineering comes in, as it can increase quality, as well as quantity in food production.
Furthermore, agriculture also plays an increasingly significant role in energy supply. In times when fossil fuels are running short, biomass turns into one of the most successful renewable energy sources of our future.
To accomplish tomorrow’s challenges by means of highly efficient technology, we need brilliant ideas and the spirit of research.
