Pushing for agriculture

It's not just youth that latched onto Spore 100. The main article on media has been echoing around the world of writers and communicators, among them Chris Cottorone, the associate information officer at the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center in Taiwan. "Spore addressed an issue recently of major importance when it discussed Media and Agriculture. While I am not sure why agriculture was pushed off the world's major agenda, the article will certainly help it to be pulled back into the limelight. More importantly, issues such as food security, biotechnology, and urbanization are making many around the world see that to understand these issues, one needs to understand agriculture and the important role it plays in human life. Pushing outward for greater public awareness while pushing internally for higher standards seems like an excellent approach to ensuring agriculture and agricultural research stay on the stage - for good."
