Food Security
Food security through plant science
In the past six decades, world agricultural output has quadrupled, food supply per person has increased by 30%, and the farmland area has only increased by 8% percent. Yet 2.3 billion people are still facing food insecurity.
To feed the world, we must embrace innovations that boost farm productivity while safeguarding both climate and nature. Now is the time to side with plant science innovation.
Biodiversity
Feeding the world and protecting biodiversity
The global population will reach 9 billion by 2050. To meet global food demand while protecting biodiversity, we need to adopt farm innovations that support both the planet and society.
From resilient crops to thriving pollinators, biodiversity plays a key role in sustaining our food supply. Science and technology can give us the tools to achieve food security while protecting biodiversity.
Climate
Embracing climate-smart innovations
From droughts and floods to new pests and diseases, climate change is putting global food supplies under greater strain than ever.
By 2050, global calories must more than double to feed over 9 billion people. Plant science and innovative technologies enable farmers to adapt to climate change while growing more crops.
Now’s the time to embrace climate-smart innovations to ensure food security while protecting the planet.
Trade
Empowering farmers through global trade
When 1 in 6 people relies on global trade to be fed, it’s crucial our trading system has rules to ensure inclusivity and equity.
Free-flowing trade allows food supplies to reach parts of the world where they are most needed quickly and easily. It also gives farmers market access to agricultural innovations to meet rising food demand, and enables consumers to enjoy affordable, nutritious food.
