Dr
Doyle's Interests
Back
to Dr Doyle's Page
Primary interest is in alleviation of poverty and
malnutrition, while conserving natural resources, by achieving sustainable
and substantial increases in agricultural productivity through effective
application of the recent and future advances in science and technology to
the benefit of the developing world. The problem centres essentially on
two parameters, the amount of the world's resources available for
sustainable agricultural production and the rate of increase of the human
population. Specific interests thus relate first, to the identification,
in both time and space, of constraints to achieving the necessary
productivity increases, and secondly to identify and combine to maximum
effect, the opportunities provided by the advances in the biological,
physical, environmental, social and information sciences to achieve the
necessary sustainable productivity increases.
