TLDR
It is concluded that major scientific breakthroughs must occur in basic plant physiology, ecophysiology, agroecology, and soil science to achieve the ecological intensification that is needed to meet the expected increase in food demand.

TLDR
There are multiple technological barriers that relate to machinery, sensor, GPS, software, and remote sensing, however, these barriers will be progressively lifted and precision agriculture will be a significant component of the agricultural system of the future.
