Sustainable Development of
Agriculture
Sustainable development is applied to
just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a
result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind
it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture,
where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress
without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives.
To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture
has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval
agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural
society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal
effect on biodiversi
A. They have remained the same over the centuries.
B. They have not kept pace with population growth.
C. They are not necessarily sustainable.
D. They are environmentally friendly.

[单项选择]When enthusiasts talk of sustainable development, the eyes of most people glaze over. There is a whiff of sack-cloth and ashes about their arguments, which usually depend on people giving up the comforts of a modern economy to achieve some debatable greater good. Yet there is a serious point at issue. Modern industry pollutes, and it also seems to cause significant changes to the climate. What is needed is an industry that delivers the benefits without the costs. And the glimmerings of just such an industry can now be discerned.
That industry is based on biotechnology. At the moment, biotech’s main uses are in medicine and agriculture. But its biggest long-term impact may be industrial. Here, it will diminish demand for oil by taking the cheapest raw materials imaginable, carbon dioxide and water, and using them to make fuel and plastics.
Plastics and fuels made in this way would have several advantages. They could accurately be called "renewables", since nothing is depleted
A. has brought about sustainable development.
B. proves to be nothing but an imagination.

Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient.
Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competiti

B. By its sustainability.
C. By its impact on the environment.
D. By its contribution to economic growth.
