The World Economic Forum tells it as it is: food security is soon to be an even greater problem, with food demands rising 60% greater by 2050. Without food security, we risk hunger, malnutrition and possible conflict. How do we prevent this? Find out what causes it in the link below.

"The global food security challenge is straightforward: by 2050, the world must feed 9 billion people. The demand for food will be 60% greater than it is today.
