Extract

The ability of global agricultural systems to supply sufficient food for our rapidly-growing human population is becoming constrained by physical and economic limits to traditional means of agricultural expansion. Pests consume or ruin a staggering proportion of crops and, in general, have not been satisfactorily controlled through the ‘broadcast’ application of pesticides.
