Basic conditions for plant production in Switzerland will be substantially different by 2050, mainly by increased competition in global and free markets, climate change causing more frequent disasters, and by scarcity of resources: soil quality will diminish, arable land will disappear and water will no longer be constantly available. Is plant production in Switzerland still feasible and expedient under these circumstances? What are the requirements for plant production in the future? Experts in plant sciences addressed these questions during the project «Perspectives for Plant Production 2050» of the Swiss Society of Agronomy (SSA). The conclusions of the study showed that the sufficient production of high quality food is only possible based on scientific and technological progress in plant sciences and production. In addition, conservation of fertile agricultural land and public commodities such as recreational landscapes, secure supply of drinking water and conservation of biodiversity are a necessity. The SSA highlights the requirements for research and development for enabling plant production of high quality and quantity in the future.
