10 BILLION MOUTHS TO FEED! Emissions, Urban Agriculture and Development

By the end of the century, experts believe that our agricultural land will produce only half as much food as it does currently, even as the population is growing. Meanwhile, the bulk of population growth will occur in urban areas–where agriculture has historically been limited. How must our food systems transform to feed the growing urban population, protect forests and biodiversity, and prioritize resiliency?

¡10 MIL MILLONES DE BOCAS QUE ALIMENTAR! Emisiones, agricultura urbana y desarrollo

Para fines de siglo, los expertos creen que nuestras tierras agrícolas producirán solo la mitad de los alimentos que producen actualmente, aun cuando la población está creciendo. Mientras tanto, la mayor parte del crecimiento de la población ocurrirá en áreas urbanas, donde la agricultura ha sido limitada históricamente. ¿Cómo deben transformarse nuestros sistemas alimentarios para alimentar a la creciente población urbana, proteger los bosques y la biodiversidad y priorizar la resiliencia?
