How much is enough?

The United Nations predicts that by 2050 the global population will reach around 9.7 billion. Adequately feeding such a large number of humans demands a huge boost in food production. Changes in diet, climate and demography will pose challenges to food security. Increasingly wealthy Asian populations will opt for more meat, fruit and vegetables.

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) SLU Future Food and SLU Global will hold a breakfast seminar to learn more about the complicated topic of the global food system and the threats the new pandemic has on it.
