Growing for the Future

Throughout the course of this blog, I hope you have learned many new things. But more importantly, I hope this blog has fed your hunger for knowledge and only kindled a brighter flame inside of you.

Agriculture is the industry that keeps the world running. Without it, the world would starve and economies would crash. That is why it is so crucial that the world remain informed about the industry. As it continues to grow, there will be more mouths to feed. Generations will have to step up to face the challenge of how to do exactly that. The problem is not going away, and it is going to take creative minds to find a solution.

But agriculture is evolving. It is finding ways to feed the residents of countries that don't have economic structure or even the climate to support agricultural endeavors. Aquaponics has proven to be an efficient way to feed families, as well as help develop economies in third-world countries. Great ideas similar to that will surely come along, but only if we put our minds to it.

Ag isn't just something that the cowboys and cowgirls should care about. It affects everybody. So the next time you hear an ag headline in the news, stay on the channel a little bit longer, or take some extra time to read that article online. A more informed world, is a world better readied to take on the challenge of feeding its growing population.
