The world food production will grow 70% by 2050 to meet the growing needs of the world's population, prompted the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It estimates that there will be 2.3 billion more people to feed in 2050 and so there is enough food, investment in primary agriculture will have to increase 60%.
"The annual production of cereals will grow by almost one billion tons, 2.1 billion tonnes at present, and the supply of beef will be high at 200 million tonnes to 470 million tonnes in 2050," said FAO , which estimates that 72% of meat production in the world will be consumed by developing countries, compared to 58% today.
Much of the increase in food production will occur through increased productivity, but FAO also predicts that more than 120 million hectares of land will be needed for that. Most of this area will be grown in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. "Most of the land will be cultivated for the planting of a few types of products, and not necessarily those of higher demand. This land will also be concentrated in a few countries," FAO warned.
Water resources, but sufficient to help increase production, may become particularly scarce in parts of Africa and South Asia, FAO said. The information is of Dow Jones.
