Irrigation of World Agricultural Lands: Evolution through the Millennia
Many agricultural production areas worldwide are characterized by high variability of water supply conditions, or simply lack of water, creating a dependence on irrigation since Neolithic times. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the evolution of irrigation of agricultural lands worldwide, based on bibliographical research focusing on ancient water management techniques and ingenious irrigation practices and their associated land management practices.

Estudiar la adaptación de cultivos a condiciones adversas y seleccionar líneas/cultivares más tolerantes a estreses ambientales.
Samuel Ortega: Integral system for water management in agriculture using meteorological information and satelital images
The main agro areas in Chile will face significant decreases in precipitation (between 20-40%). For that reason, the main challenges are to increase water productivity (kg/m3) and to adapt agriculture to water shortage using new technologies.
Jim Farrar: Global Warming and the future of Integrated Pest Management
Global warming is causing increases in average temperature and increasing severity of droughts and storms. These environmental changes increase stress on crop plants and change pest dynamics. Integrated pest management programs will need to continuously adapt in order to keep pace with these changes.
