Agronomy and the related disciplines of Agricultural Science today are very different from what they were before about 1950. Intensification of agriculture since the 1960s in developed and developing countries, often referred to as the Green Revolution , was closely tied to progress made in selecting and improving crops and animals for high productivity, as well as to developing additional inputs such as artificial Fertilizer s and Phytosanitary Product s. However, environmental damage due to Intensive Agriculture , industrial development, and population growth have raised many questions among agronomists and have led to the development and emergence of new fields (e.g., Integrated Pest Management , Waste Treatment technologies, Landscape Architecture , Genomics ). New technologies, such as Biotechnology and Computer Science (for data processing and storage), and technological advances have made it possible to develop new research fields, including Genetic Engineering , improved Statistical Analysis , and Precision Farming .
