Bioproducts of Farming
This document discusses the opportunities for agriculture and plant science in the coming decades due to convergence of scientific disciplines like biotechnology, physics, and chemistry. It notes that the 20th century was the century of physics and chemistry, while the 21st century will be the century of biotechnology, physics, and chemistry. This convergence will create many new application opportunities with large societal and economic benefits. Specifically for agriculture and plant science, it sees tremendous prospects, with a knowledge-based economy becoming a new driver and great opportunities for the field.
