Abstract Authors of the analytical report «World Agriculture Towards 2030/2050» made conclusion that growing global demand for food cannot be satisfied if the agricultural production in the world does not increase by 60% for the next 40 years (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012). This could be achieved only by increase the plants productivity, not at the expense of expansion farms land, because to 2050 area of world lands will grow on 5%. World population growth and reduction of the world area planted with wheat has alerted governments of G20, which adopted “The International Research Initiative for Wheat Improvement”. Wheat biotechnology rapidly evolves throughout the world. In 2009 three major wheat exporting countries have signed the declaration to speed up the commercialization of GM-wheat. In this article we evaluated the genetic engineering achievements, and their usage for increasing profitability of wheat.

Through constant repetition over the past siderable credence has been given to a very pessimistic outlook for world agriculture. The pessimists argue that recurrent and ever more serious food shortages will occur as a result of increasing population growth, rising affluence, and decreasing availability of cultivatable land. Based largely on world consumption of food and feed grains ranging between 1.1 and 1.2 billion tons per year, with a yearly growth in volume of some 25 million tons needed to meet increased demand, it has been asserted that the world has twenty-seven days worth of food reserves left and is living on a razor's edge with respect to famine. This assertion does not bear up under close examination.

In this modern world agriculture is one of the major booming sectors around the world. In India around 60 percent of GDP comes from agriculture sector alone. Also, around the world there are many technologies showing up in the field of agriculture. In this paper proposed a technology by means of which potential pest attack in the crops can be detected and the respective pesticide is also sprayed as well. Along with these there is a range of sensor employed in the field connected to the controller that will take the real time values from the field and can be displayed in the respective screen (monitor or mobile screen) by means of technology called IOT (Internet of Things). Raspberry-pi is used as the controller to perform IoT. system is linked with an application called “cain” Which allows us to display various values of sensors in the monitor or in mobile application.

The rapid increase in importance of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and soybean products in world agriculture is a major phenomenon of the last 50 years. Beginning about 1940 soybean production and use increased rapidly, first in the United States and recently in other parts of the world. Soybean production now ranks near the top of non-cereal sources of calories and protein.

Biological control has attained immense significance. Biological control is not unknown. It has a past history of successes. Natural control consists of two major components: environmental factors (abiotic) and natural enemies (biotic). Integrated Pest Management or Crop Management is considered a valuable tool in food security. It has not only been used in Pakistan but also Pakistani biotic agents have been used elsewhere in the world giving substantial economic control. These have been mainly used in the USA. With World Trade Organization protocols in operation, biological control will be of much significance. Import and export of natural enemies will be up scaling in recent times.

Agricultural Geography

The paper deals with the position of agricultural geography in the system of geographical sciences and with the changes in orientation of main themes treated by new research and publication activities of this geographical sub-discipline. In the initial stages, description of reality prevailed in agricultural geography, then it went through the period of "business (commercial) geography", then the main interest of agricultural geographers was concentrated at world agriculture typology issues and still later at land use. Since the end of the 1970's, a shift from agricultural geography to rural geography has been evident. It corresponds with the trend of the shift of geography to a broadly conceived cultural or human geography. Since the 1990's critical voices refusing an exaggerated sociologization of geographical themes in rural research have been growing. In that period, research has concentrated at globalization as topical process of the world economy. Recently, studies paying attention to environmental issues are more frequent.
