Looking ahead in world food and agriculture Perspectives to 2050
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : CONFORTI P.
Fuelled by the turbulence of world agricultural markets, the debate on
relations among agriculture, food security, natural resources, population
growth and economic development has been revamped over the last few years.
how are growth prospects and the expected evolution of per capita income
in the long term going to affect the agricultural and food economy? Are
the natural resources available, such as land and water, sufficient to
feed a growing population? What role can economic incentives and technical
change play in shaping resource use and supply? What are the priority
areas where investment and research should be directed? How may the use of
agricultural products in biofuel production affect markets? And how can
climate change affect production possibilities and markets? Around these
questions, in 2009, FAO’s Economic and Social Development Department
organized a Forum and a High-Level Expert Meeting on How to Feed The World
in 2050. This volume follows up on that initiative, by gathering updated
versions of technical materials prepared for the occasion, along with
further work. the book seeks to sustain the debate on the future of the
global agricultural and food economy. Its contents were designed to
interest both a technical audience and a wider range of professionals
working around the world in areas related to agriculture, in both public
and private institutions.
