Resumen:
p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }1. Human history is inextricably tied to the development of agriculture. This tie has always been about more than agriculture as a source of food for human sustenance; agriculture has influenced our value systems,our cultural heritage, the structure and location of our communities,and the development of other sectors in the economy. Agriculture is central to our lives.2. Human well-being is affected by these disparate ties. We need sufficient quantities of food with adequate nutritional value in order to survive ? this is a fundamental physiological need, and this human need is still not being met for a significant portion of the world?s poor, a central challenge reflected in several of the Sustainable Development Goals. However, all of the other ties also reflect elements of sustainability.3. How we produce,distribute and consume food affects these ties and thus our well-being. Increasingly however, the ties between food systems and human health, cultural heritage, and the impacts that our production systems are having on nature have become largely invisible, or worse,severed completely.4. This invisibility can move us away from stewardship of our natural resources, to their unsustainable use, generating negative impacts for both present and future generations.
