Descripción
The challenge of feeding the growing world population, which is expected to reach 9 billion people in 2050, requires new strategies to ensure food security, in which dietary patterns are important drivers for building sustainable agricultural and food systems. ? Today, the main challenge for the food and agricultural sector is to simultaneously provide enough food, in quantity and quality, to meet nutritional needs and to conserve the natural resources for present and future generations. ? F AO estimates that in 2050 to satisfy the demand of a growing and richer population, with an increased meat demand, food production will have to increase by at least 60 percent in the next decades.
