信息技术:走向农业生态系统的可持续管理

21世纪信息科学及其工程技术将加速生态学、分子生物学等现代生物科学的两个前沿学科及其工程技术的发展，在解决人类生存的环境问题和探寻生命本原问题中起推波助澜作用。农业的终极目标是实现对农业生态系统的可持续管理，现代信息工程技术是实现这个目标的核心技术，其中地理信息系统（GIS）、全球定位系统（GPS）和遥感（RS）等3S技术为实现农业生态系统的可持续管理提供了综合的、多维的、动态的，因而也是通晓的和精确的信息资源和技术控制方案，将促进农业真正通向可持续发展之路。

Information technology:toward the way to the sustainable management of agroecosystem

Information science and its engineering technology will speed up ecology and molecular biology, two frontierdisciplines of modern biology in 21st century, and their engineering technologies, which will add fuel to the fire to solveenvironmental problem that the human being confronting and investigate into the creature being. The ultimate goal ofagriculture would be toward the way to the sustainable management of agroecosystem,while modern information science andits engineering technology will be a core technology to achieve this goal, among which, GIS,GPS and RS produce anintegrative,multi- dimension,dynamic and thus informed and precise information resource and technology control methodologiesfor the goal and pave the practical way of agriculture from conventional to sustainable.
