Abstract

The production of food in the developing tropical world is considered within the context of a number of biological constraints and how new and innovative approaches might accelerate and sustain food production. The lowland humid tropical zones are considered especially fragile. The mixed cropping system must be thoroughly investigated and rationalized to effect better crop production levels in modern subsistence farming. Overall is the long range pest problem needing basic research for long-range solutions. Institutional innovations that might bring in a more participatory and interactive tropical crop production system are envisaged. - from Author
