How to Feed Nine Billion People From the Ground Up:
Soil, Seeds, Water, Plants, Livestock, Forests, Organics, and People
Global human population is projected to reach nine billion by 2050, which means food production will need to expand by 70% to keep up. Fulfilling this demand will place unprecedented pressure on ecosystems, including the planet's grasslands, especially as competition grows for scarce natural resources. The conference will explore a variety of innovative practices that are already successfully intensifying food production while preserving, maintaining, and restoring the natural world.
Feeding Nine Billion People without Destroying Nature
by Courtney White
According to the United Nations, there will be nine billion people on the planet by 2050, which raises a serious question: how are we going to feed them without destroying what's left of the natural world, especially under the stress of climate change? Australian farmer Colin Seis has an answer: intensify food production by managing land in nature's image.
