Feeding an additional three billion people over the next four decades, along with providing food security for another one billion people that are currently hungry or malnourished, is a huge challenge. Meeting those goals in a context of land and water scarcity, climate change, and declining crop yields will require another giant leap in agricultural innovation. The aim of this paper is to stimulate a dialogue on what new approaches might be needed to meet these needs and how innovative funding mechanisms could play a role.

Este articulo buscó establecer un referente general que permita establecer líneas de investigación en la administración de los Agronegocios en México. En la primera parte se hace una retroexpectativa del medio en el cual se realizaban dichas actividades, y el cual sirvió de base para desarrollar trabajos de investigación tendientes a mejorar los sistemas de administración. Posteriormente se describe el entorno en el cual se desarrollan los agronegocios en la actualidad y las posibles tendencias de estos.
