“Global demand for food is increasing rapidly, with rural migration, population growth, and rising incomes all potentiating this increase. Yet global food supply is facing deflationary pressures in the form of declining natural resources, climate change, and disease. The world’s population is forecast to increase to ~9.8 billion by 2050. In order to meet the growing nutritional demands of humanity, a 50% rise in the production of food and other agricultural products will be required.” FAO
