It is widely understood that crop production must increase at least twice as fast as human population growth during the coming 40 yr to meet global food demand. Tested strategies for achieving this goal have not yet emerged, but some stipulations to guide in the search for them can be made. Adverse ecological impacts of land conversion to agricultural use and freshwater withdrawals for irrigation will strongly limit the viability of these two traditional approaches to increasing crop production, whereas abundant opportunity exists for optimizing soil water availability to and consumption by rainfed crops to increase their yields by twofold or more. This optimization, however, will require major campaigns in multidisciplinary basic research on positive plant-soil feedbacks that increase crop biomass by influencing the rhizosphere, through which 40% of the global freshwater flow passes annually.
