The 1972 Meadows report: A wake-up call for plant science
The 1972 Meadows report, “the limits to growth”, predicted a global socio-economic tipping point during the 21st century. Now supported by 50 years of empirical evidence, this work is an invitation to take the current environmental crisis for what it is: an inversion. Taking this turn reverses many paradigms and becomes a new responsibility for plant scientists as the world becomes increasingly turbulent.
