Food systems have grown miraculously over the years, striving relentlessly to keep pace with decades of rapid population growth. In the next 30 years, the world’s population is expected to hit 9.7 billion, adding another 2 billion mouths to feed. With absolute certainty, we can rely on countries and companies to scale up technology and intensify mechanisation to meet the rising demand for food, but can we rely on the same institutions to conserve the rapidly depleting natural resources essential to sustaining food systems? Additionally, the Agriculture value added went up 84% between 2000 and 2021, to USD 3.7 trillion (FAOSTAT 2023).
