How to Feed a Growing Planet

Here’s an uncomfortable math problem: by 2045 Earth’s population will likely have swelled from seven to nine billion people. To fill all those stomachs – while accounting for shifting consumption patterns, climate change, and a finite amount of arable land and potable water – some experts say global food production will have to double. How can we make the numbers add up?

Julian Cribb, author of The Coming Famine, says higher yielding crop varieties and more efficient farming methods will be crucial. So will waste reduction. Cribb and other experts urge cities to reclaim nutrients and water from waste streams and preserve farmland. Poor countries, they say, can improve crop storage and packaging. And rich nations could cut back on resource-intensive foods like meat. In fact, wherever there is easy access to cheap food, people buy more than they consume. We could thus all start by shopping smarter – and cleaning our plates.

As Cribb notes, food security is increasingly a collective challenge. It’s also a chance "to pull together on something we can all agree about, share and enjoy".
