Details

This report explores the pressures on the global food system between now and 2050. It identifies the decisions that policy makers need to take today, and in the years ahead, to ensure that a global population rising to 9 billion or more can be fed in a fair and sustainable way.

The related action plan sets out how some of the interested organisations are using the findings of the report to inform their work.

Further details of the project and the supporting evidence are available from the food and farming futures project page.
