Dear editor,

　 I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people. They are not as polite or hard-working as my generation（一代人）. I will give you two examples.

　 Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seat. There were some boys sitting on the seats near me. I didn’t know why they were not at school. They were talking and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise. At the next stop, a pregnant（懷孕的） woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags.I expected the boys to let them sit down. They saw the woman but they did nothing. I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats. They did so but gave me a rude look.

Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was glad to see his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During the dinner, I started talking about world politics with the children. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much about it. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or President of Italy. All they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful. In my days, students knew the kings, the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.

I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become good workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this “l(fā)ost generation”.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 Yours sincerely,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 Frantz Vogts.

　 Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the only measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives.

　 To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a popularly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had smallest effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient.

　 Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safer and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat loss and to decreasing biodiversity.

　 What’s more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050.yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions.

　 All this means that agriculture in the 21^st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th. This will require complete thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are unavoidably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the idea that agriculture can be “zero impact”. The key will be to abandon the rather simple and unchangeable measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage.

　 Instead we need a more dynamic explanation, one that looks at the pros and cons of all the various way land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity.

　 What is critical is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production.
