The Future of Food Panel Discussion - 2012 CGI Annual Meeting
The current food system is not sustainable. Agriculture accounts for 70 percent of the world's use of increasingly scarce water supplies, and deforestation for food production generates more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined. Despite these associated environmental and social costs, one-third of the food generated for human consumption continues to be lost or wasted. With global demand expected to double in the next 25 to 50 years, current modes of production and patterns of consumption must change to ensure global food security. %bull How can the global food system be redesigned to yield more, healthier food, while reducing our ecological footprint? %bull How can greater access to markets, new approaches to distribution, and local sourcing bolster food quality and workers' livelihoods, while reducing waste and improving resilience to extreme conditions?
