The Great Balancing Act: Creating a Sustainable Food Future

This one page infographic by the World Resources Institute shows that in order to sustainably feed 9.6 billion people by 2050 three needs must be met at the same time: 28% of the global population must be employed by agriculture, global greenhouse gas emissions from land use change and agriculture must drop from the current level of 24%, and an increase in food calories by 69% is needed in order to close the food gap. This is part of the outcome of a broader global initiative spearheaded at the World Economic Forum focused on cross sectoral partnership to tackle food loss and waste.
