Dear Members,
We would like to point your attention to a new FAO report, relased today, which analyses current trends that impact the
future ability of mankind to feed itself. In a scenario of a growing population and moderate economic growth, global demand for agricultural products will increase by 50 percent, increasing the risk of additional pressures on over-strained and depleted natural
resources.
As we plan ahead, will today’s agriculture and food systems be able
to sustainably meet the needs of a global growing population tomorrow? The short answer is yes. But with a caveat as this will require a major overhaul in how we operate within our agricultural systems, rural economies and natural resource
management.
