The world is facing a global food problem. In 2030, over 8 billion mouths will have to be fed, rising to 9 billion in 2050. In comparison, the world population in 1950 amounted to 2.5 billion people. This puts extra pressure on food availability, with climate problems as a result.
Our diet needs to change drastically should we want to continue feeding a world population that’s ever-growing, increasingly prosperous and more demanding of the planet. So that sufficient food is and remains available.
