Descripción
By 2050 the world?s population will reach 9 billion, 34 percent higher than today. Nearly all of this population increase will occur in developing countries. Urbanization will continue at an accelerated pace, and about 70 percent of the world?s population will be urban (compared to 49 percent today). Income levels will be many multiples of what they are now. In order to feed this larger, more urban and richer population, food production must increase. Food production can be achieved if the necessary investment is undertaken and policies conducive to agricultural production are put in place. It must be complemented by policies to enhance access by fighting poverty, especially in rural areas, as well as effective safety net programmes. A threefold challenge now faces the world: Match the rapidly changing demand for food from a larger and more affluent population to its supply; do so in ways that are environmentally and socially sustainable; and ensure that the world?s poorest people are no longer hungry. It needs to mobilize political will and build the necessary institutions to ensure that key decisions on investment and policies to eradicate hunger are taken and implemented effectively. The time to act is now.
