Produce more
With 9 billion mouths to feed, farmers must grow twice as much food by 2050. How will we meet this challenge?
In seven of the last eight years, the world has consumed more grain than it produced.
Experts now predict our planet will need to double agricultural output by 2050 to feed a growing population. By some estimates, that means producing more food in the next 50 years than has been grown in the last 10,000 years.
