Ensuring food security has been always a challenge and agricultural intensification has been the program for decades. Since the 1970s technological developments such as mechanization, biotechnology and agrochemicals helped to achieve enormous increases in agricultural productivity.<\/p>\n<p>However, the so called \u201cgreen revolution\u201d is reaching its limits.
