Document Summary:
It is a bleak statistic for an already overworked planet: a world that by 2050 will be bursting with over 9 billion people. That’s an additional two billion people that must be fed and clothed every day amid a growing scarcity of, and conflict over, land, water and energy resources.
For those working in agriculture, the challenges have never been greater. These include the impacts of climate-related disasters such as droughts in Africa and Asia as well as increasing energy costs, growing waste and eco-system damage across the globe. Inefficient farming practices, including low-technology farming, complicate the picture.
While these problems may seem intractable, many innovative business solutions — showcased in this magazine — are already delivering win-win outcomes in terms of financial returns and sustainable development. These breakthroughs of technology and ideas not only maximize productivity, but also optimize delivery across a far more complex landscape of financial, environmental and social outcomes.
