In 1970, 190,500,000 ha classified as arable and permanent cropland in the USA
Decreased to 187,776,000 ha by 1991. Irrigated land in the USA peaked at
20,582,000 hectares in 1980 and has been stable at 18,771,000 hectares since 1989.
Trends suggest that cropland in the USA will not expand beyond the present 190,000,000 ha

Developing world: 760,000,000 hectares classified as cropland and could theoretically increase to 850,000,000 hectares.
World population increases by 86 million people per year (235,000/day, World Resources, 1996).
33,000 people die each day due to malnutrition/starvation
Cropland needed to feed the human population, if population growth stops and land is preserved, will be roughly 3.3 billion hectares, and likely to become limiting near the year 2050

Probability of bringing 3.3 billion hectares into production from the current 1.4 billion hectares is small (www.igc.org/millennium).
A large portion of the lands considered as 'potentially arable' (e.g., increase from 1.4 to 3.3 billion hectares) include tropical rainforests and other lands that would require massive inputs for any kind of sustained crop production.

Unlikely that the total arable world land will increase beyond its present level
Increased production per unit area will be essential.
Applied precision agricultural production practices are timely and required within the developed and developing agricultural community.

managementmanagement• Continued success in wheat germplasm and
technology dissemination worldwide depends on the free and uninhibited flow of genetic materials and information. Restrictions imposed on such movement due to intellectual property protection could have serious consequences on the ability of developing countries to sustain wheat productivity growth.
• …. further gains would have to come from specifically targeting breeding efforts to the unique characteristics of marginal environments

What is Precision Agriculture?What is Precision Agriculture?
• Treating small areas of a field as separate management units for the purpose of optimizing crop production based on in-field variability

Site Specific ManagementSite Specific Management
• The application of an input to a specific area based on the evaluation of variability of the need for that input. Richardson, 1996.
• Recognition of site-specific differences within fields and tailoring management accordingly, instead of managing an entire field based on some hypothetical average. Emmert, 1995.
