Food production: A sustainable food supply

Future challenges

It is estimated that by 2050 the world's population will reach 9.1 billion (34% higher than today). Food production will need to increase by 70% to feed the larger and most likely more urban population.

More food will have to be produced using less land. In addition water and energy will become limiting factors. Global food production methods must change to minimise the impact on the environment. I am curious to find out which methods we will use or want to use in the future. 

I would like to interview different farmers and/or shops.

    Hi Cindy! Your topic is really interesting and one of the main problems in the future. I would like to see which solutions our world will find against this population increase.

    I love this topic idea! A very interesting and important topic to think about. I am curious how we can produce more food for our growing population using fewer resources.

    I find this topic very exciting and also topical! People are getting older and older and the population is constantly growing. I am also curious which methods we will use or want to use in the future.
