Humanity is faced with one of its greatest challenges to date. The reality is this: we need to make a lot more food and we’re running out of planet to do it. According to the World Resources Institute, there is a 56% food gap between what we make today and what we will need by 2050.
Agrifood is a US$7.8T global market that employs 40% of the working population, which is impossible to scale using current methods. The ‘inconvenient truth’ is that humans have run out of planet. As our population grows, the resources we need are shrinking. Sweeping changes to farming and how we produce food is required, and technology and science hold the key to helping us find new solutions to feed us all.
