Population GrowthThe world population, currently 7 billion, is expected to reach 9.3 billion by 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100

Data from UN-DESA, 2011

According to the FAO food production needs to increase by70% to meet the population needs.The absolute quantities offood necessary to feed the world in 2050 are substantial.Assuming no change in population growth, food consumptionpatterns and food waste management, the following productionincreases must take place by 2050:

• cereals production must increase by 940 million ton nes to reach 3 billion tonnes;

• meat production must increase by 196 million tonnes to reach 455 million tonnes;

• and oil crops by must increase by 133 million tonnes to reach 282 million tonnes.

and the food challenge…

but

Some studies say that Yield trends in maize , rice andsoybeans are insufficent to reach desired production

Better planning : Enough food produced…but no food access?

Can it be done…

MAGNITUDE OF CHANGE BY 2050 ADDITIONAL QUANTITIES BY 2050

Population increases 28% Tons of food required 1.3 billion mt

Food production increases 70% Served by trade .3 billion mt

Grain and oilseed increases 50% Met by local production 1.0 billion mt

Trade increases 100% Can it be done? Yes

We have a good baseline :

1 out of every 3 calories iswasted

Food quantity does not equate nutrition quality

How…

The solution is clearly multidimensional but should be sustainablesome key pieces include

Organization

Optimization of all links in the value chain that includeproduction, distribution, consumption and disposal.

Thinking about Resource efficiency and best practices

Innovation

Scaling up the small holder farmer agriculture

And access to finance

Scaling up small holder agriculture:

Page 13: Karla Canavan

Rural women:• .. are already farmers and involved in food production, just need to be

motivated and trained

- Sizeable engine .- 1.6 billion women depend on agriculture for their livelihoods.

- Over 50 percent of the world’s food is currently produced by women, 70% in Africa

- Studies show that 10 earned and managed by rural women have the impact of 110 into their families in comparison to men . 11X

- Less than 2% of land is owned by women

- Many of them are illiterate

- Have limited mobility

- Live gender inequality

Data from FAO,IFAD,UNESCO

Resource Efficiency: Water

Water Imbalance

• 70% of earth covered with water

• Less than 1% of water is available as fresh or ground water for people to use

• Not evenly distributed

Food and Water

• Food and agriculture are the greatest users of water

• 70% of water used

• Substantial part is wasted or polluted

Best Practices Package for example

Irrigation and moisture conservation

Ploughing (pre sowing)

Soil tests and fertilizer

Spacing

Mid season weed control

Pest and disease control

And from there learn quality control, product handling, conservation, transportation and commercialization

Some leverage factors

Livestock.- Having smallanimals at home providesadditional nutrition to thehousehold, and enhancesthe live of the community

Fruit trees.- might provide anatural barrier for cropswhile providing additionalnutrition to the communities

The challenge “The transition from a successful project to a successful business”

• Critical mass

• Professional managent

• Profitable business

Which gives it access to finance

The Happy Farmer?

By 1990, less than 40% of the global population lived in a city, but as of 2010, more than half of all people live in an urban area. By 2030, 6 out of every 10 people will live in a city, and by 2050, this proportion will increase to 7 out of 10 people.

In Summary

To streamline the supply chain , interventions are needed in almost every link of the supply chain. The room for improvement is very significant

Agriculture not only produces food but generates income and supports rural livelihoods

It’s not only about quantity but quality the question forward should be nutrition security

Smart and resilent crops

To achieve this we need farmers and happy ones

The four goals of agriculture sustainability

According to the National Academies of Science report (2010) are :

• Satisfy human food, feed, and fiber needs, and contribute to biofuel needs;

• Enhance environmental quality and the resources base;

• Sustain economic viability of agriculture; and

• Enhance the quality of life for farmers, farm workers, and society as a whole.
