The agricultural revolution made us who we are, the ultimate predator on Earth. This evolution breakthrough enabled a sudden jump of Homo Sapiens in the food chain, rapid population growth, creation of civilizations and rapid expansion to all parts of the planet. These days we, as agricultural experts, are facing a new task; how to produce enough food for a growing human population, in conditions of limited resources and increasingly frequent labelling as pollutants by those who clearly do not understand the basic role of agriculture for human survival, agriculture produce food!!! Research, development and innovation have made the agricultural sector in Europe competitive and effective in producing enough quantity of quality food for the citizens of Europe. Now, this sector needs to operate in the production system that ensures safe and healthy food supply, reduces environmental impact, improves resource utilization, provides ecosystem services, contributes to a sustainable economy and satisfies consumer needs in a way that society values. And finally, we need to educate the population we are feeding; we are not Farming for Failure, we are Farming to Sustain!
