4 Pillars/Building Blocks of Food Security

Availability, access, stability, and utilization

5 Food Security Problems

Population growth, war and conflict, weather extremes, COVID-19, and Policies

3 Additional Food Security Problems

Shifting diets, energy vs. food, and pests

7 Solutions for Global Food Insecurity

Reduce food loss and waste, shift to “healthier” diets, achieve replacement level fertility, boost crop yields, improve land and water management, alternative food sources, and controlled environment agriculture

agronomy

the applied science of crop and plant production for food, fiber, and energy; is intrinsically multi-disciplinary

Genetics + Environment + Management =

= Yield

5 Abiotic Factors that make an effect

Water, temperature, nutrients, wind, and light

evotranspiration

combined loss of water from the soil and plant that’s expressed in depth per unit time

erosion

removal of surface material from the Earth’s crust

GDDs

a measurement of heat units (crop specific)

(Tmax + Tmin)/2 - Tbase =

= GDD

4 “R’s” of Nutrient Management

Right Source at, right rate, right time, and right place

3 Macronutrients

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)

3 Secondary Nutrients

Magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), and calcium (Ca)

8 Micronutrients

Boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and molybdenum (Mo)

3 Non-fertilizer Elements

Hydrogen (H), carbon (C), and oxygen (O)

long-day plant (LDP)

require short night length for flowering

examples of long-day plants (LDPs)

pea, winter barley, winter wheat, canola, perennial ryegrass, sugar beet, alfalfa, and red clover

short-day plant (SDP)

require long period for flowering

examples of short-day plants (SDPs)

winter rice, soybean, and some cultivars of corn

day-neutral plant (DNP)

flowering not influenced by photoperiod

examples of day-neutral plants (DNPs)

cabbage and some cultivars of corn

leaf area index (LAI)

is defined as the total one side green leaf area per ground surface area

harvest index (HI)

measure of the efficiency of plants in producing seed

3 Common Ways to Manage Crop Canopies

Manipulating row spacing, plant population, and plant type

hybrid

the first-generation offspring of a ccross between individuals differing in one or more genes

open-pollination

genetically variable - mix of many different (hybrids)
