To provide sufficient food and fiber to the increasing global population, the technologies associated with crop protection are growing ever more sophisticated but, at the same time, societal expectations for the safe use of crop protection chemistry tools are also increasing. The goal of this perspective is to highlight the key issues that face future leaders in crop protection, based on presentations made during a symposium titled "Developing Global Leaders for Research, Regulation and Stewardship of Crop Protection Chemistry in the 21st Century", held in conjunction with the IUPAC 13th International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry in San Francisco, CA, USA, during August 2014. The presentations highlighted the fact that leaders in crop protection must have a good basic scientific training and understand new and evolving technologies, are aware of the needs of both developed and developing countries, and have good communication skills. Concern is expressed over the apparent lack of resources to meet these needs, and ideas are put forward to remedy these deficiencies.
为了给不断增长的全球人口提供充足的食物和纤维，与作物保护相关的技术变得越来越复杂，但与此同时，社会对安全使用作物保护化学工具的期望也在不断提高。本文旨在根据 2014 年 8 月在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的国际纯粹与应用化学联合会第 13 届国际农药化学大会期间举办的题为“培养 21 世纪作物保护化学研究、监管和管理领域的全球领导者”的专题研讨会的演讲内容，重点阐述未来作物保护领域领导者所面临的关键问题。演讲强调了以下事实：作物保护领域的领导者必须具备良好的基础科学培训和理解新技术的能力，了解发达国家和发展中国家的需求，并且具备良好的沟通技巧。人们对明显缺乏资源来满足这些需求表示担忧，并提出了一些想法来弥补这些缺陷。
