Term:
Sustainable crop production intensification; sustainable intensification of crop production
Definition:
Sustainable crop production intensification responds to the need to increase the opportunities for crop production to address the current and future environmental threats the world is facing, and ultimately respond to the need to increase food production for the forecasted increase in human population. Hence, an important aspect of SCPI is that it looks to manage biological processes sustainably to optimize crop production.
