sustainable and resilient food systems

“The required increase in food production can be achieved if the necessary investment is undertaken. [...] The world has the resources and technology to eradicate hunger.”

THE Challenge

Population growth, consumption changes and climate change are increasingly stressing current food systems.

With 2 billion people already suffering from food insecurity², an estimated 70% increase in food production will be needed by 2050.³

THE Solution

The world is now seeking ways to make food systems more resilient and sustainable. This includes new production processes, smarter distribution and waste systems, and more resilient supply chains.

The market opportunity

Sustainable food is an increasingly attractive investment area, with new sub-sectors such as synthetic biology and smart agriculture growing at over 10% per year. ¹⁷ ¹⁸ Meanwhile, reducing food waste offers savings of up to $340 billion per year to 2030.¹⁹
