Present global population which is roughly 5.7 billion is expected to increase at an annual rate of 80-85 million and over 90% of this increase will be in developing countries. Despite the fact that world food production has grown faster than the population, more than 800 million people in the developing world were undernourished in the early 1990's and millions more suffered from diseases related to micro nutrients and contaminated food and water. After all, irrational fertilizer use and inefficient use of irrigation water are the main agricultural mismanaged uses. Rapid population growth and continuous urbanization which exhausts the natural resources will result in an increased demand for food in general and for high grade and quality crops as well. In fact, the purchasing power of man in the exporting countries will rise if they will not satisfy the quality requirements of the importing countries. Practical experience and scientific investigations have shown that of the various cultural measures, balanced fertilization above all exerts a considerable influence on the quality of agricultural products. Balanced crop nutrition increases crop quality, safeguards natural resources and brings benefit to the farmer. These were the major topics of the 1** lAOPN Workshop on ^Improved Quality by Nutrient Management'. The meeting was attended by 99 participants and 15 accompanying persons from 18 different countries. The scientific progranune covered a wide range of subjects related to crop quality and nutrient management. These proceedings consist of the 72 refereed oral and poster paper presentations. In order to elaborate Workshop conclusions, the present overall status of quality achievements and possible strategies were debated during a closing session. Three major issues were pointed out: / . What is quality ? As far as edible produces are concemed, markets tend presently to pay only for external quality characters such as: D keeping ability, D resistance to transportation hazards, D absence of visible defects,

X Preface
D parameters contributing to the appeal (colour, size, shine, firmness.. .)• Criteria concerning internal quality and especially its expected benefits for the consumer's health start to be also considered by the sellers and buyers. But at the moment they rely mostly on two considerations : D a wish for more tasty produces ; n an uncontrolled fear for toxicities by pollutants, heavy metals, nitrates, etc. Nobody takes care that for instance, as reported to the audience by Dr. J. Jonhston, hospitals are sometimes facing new diseases due to nitrate deficiency in the diet. Nor anybody at the moment would accept to pay more for a produce of which the composition (e.g. in essential amino-acids) would be certified as highly superior from a dietetic point of view. However, in developed countries a fraction of the consumers agrees to pay more for produces qualified as 'natural' (originated from the so-called 'organic' or 'biological' farming), because they consider them as more tasty and/or better for their health. 2. How to deal with the ^organic farming' ideology ? Although scientists cannot agree to any external postulate, statements about a claimed better quality cannot be either rejected or accepted without careful check. The reconmiended general policy was : D to comparatively assess the objective quality of organically vs. conventionally grown produces under the same soil and climate conditions ; D in that view, due to the very strict regulations adopted by the organic farmers unions, to urge developed countries to set up experimental farms specially designed for the organic/conventional comparisons, i.e. with large fully comparable sectors permanently devoted to one production system ;

D on the other hand, to pursue researches in view of achieving similar or higher standards of 'true' quality by means more compatible with the quantitative food demand by the world population in the coming decades. 3. How to improve quality at the markets scale whereas the quantitative increase of production is still required to continue ? Of course a first step is to intensify the research on the qualitative effects of all agricultural practices, especially nutritional management, with more focus on the most crucial issues, and more reciprocal cooperation between the concerned teams. This is why lAOPN proposes to set up a permanent Working Group aiming to prolong and extend the links created during this Workshop. Any interested scientist is heartily invited to apply. However, even excellent research results are inefficient if they are not put into application. Figure 1 was proposed by the second author to help defining an adequate strategy. All participants agreed on the scheme. As information exchanges between agricultural and medical scientists appeared insufficient, invitation of some of the latter to the next fertilization/quality workshops was considered. The extreme importance of the mass media (mostly press and TV) was stressed, whilst they tend to be much more influenced by fashions or pressure groups than by sound scientific evidences ; thus scientists were highly recommended to conmiunicate more with the 'great press' and the TV.
