FAO POLICY BRIEF - Harvesting agriculture’s multiple benefits: Mitigation, Adaptation, Development and Food Security

03.12.2009 16:30

Today 1 billion people, out of a world population of 6.5 billion, live in chronic hunger. Every six seconds a child dies from hunger. The future demands placed on agriculture will be no less daunting: feeding a population that is estimated to number 9.1 billion in 2050 (FAO projects that a 70 percent increase in food production will be needed); providing income, employment and economic growth in many developing countries, most Least Developed Countries, and livelihoods for 75 percent of the poor.

The fight over the future of food

10.11.2009 17:07

At first glance, Giuseppe Oglio's farm near Milan looks like it's suffering from neglect. Weeds run rampant amid the rice fields and clover grows unchecked around his millet crop. Oglio, a third generation farmer eschews modern farming techniques -- chemicals, fertilizers, heavy machinery -- in favor of a purely natural approach. It is not just ecological, he says, but profitable, and he believes his system can be replicated in starving regions of the globe. Nearly 5,000 miles away, in laboratories in St. Louis, Missouri, hundreds of scientists at the world's biggest seed company, Monsanto, also want to feed the world, only their tools of choice are laser beams and petri dishes.

Monsanto, a leader in agricultural biotechnology, spends about $2 million a day on scientific research that aims to improve on Mother Nature, and is positioning itself as a key player in the fight against hunger.
