the future of life chapter summary

Nông nghiệp không tưới chiếm 69% diện tích ngũ cốc toàn cầu, góp phần đáp ứng nhu cầu lương thực trong tương lai. Mô hình IMPACT-WATER dự báo sản xuất ngũ cốc không tưới sẽ vẫn đóng vai trò quan trọng, chiếm khoảng một nửa mức tăng sản lượng ngũ cốc từ 1995 đến 2025. Lợi thế của sản xuất ngũ cốc không tưới là do sự chiếm ưu thế của loại hình này ở các nước phát triển, vốn là nơi có hơn 80% diện tích ngũ cốc không tưới và nhiều đất sản xuất ngô và lúa mì năng suất cao. Ngược lại, ở các nước đang phát triển, nơi sản xuất ngũ cốc không tưới dự kiến chiếm đến 40% diện tích trồng trọt, việc tưới tiêu lại đóng vai trò quan trọng hơn với sản lượng ngũ cốc dự kiến sẽ đến từ các khu vực được tưới tiêu. Tuy nhiên, cải thiện năng suất và sản lượng ngũ cốc không tưới có thể bù đắp cho việc giảm đầu tư vào tưới tiêu, nhưng điều này sẽ là một thách thức lớn.
