Landwirtschaft für die Hungerbekämpfung

Hunger is still a widespread problem. Due to population and income growth, as well as rising use of biofuels, global demand for agricultural products could double by 2050. Increasing production at the same rate without overusing natural resources and the environment will be a challenge. It necessitates harnessing science in all its facets, including the development and implementation of new technologies. Yet, sufficient production alone will not suffice. Food security also requires better economic access to food for all. Hence, poverty in developing countries will have to be reduced. A large proportion of people suffering from hunger depends on the small farm sector for their livelihoods, so promoting growth in this sector should have high priority.
