"Feeding the world is now recognised as one of the key problems for the next few decades. An international food summit held in November showed the extent of the difficulties we face: in order to feed a world population that is likely to exceed 9bn before 2050, the world will have to almost double food production. This will have to be managed at the same time as cutting greenhouse gases by between 50 and 80 per cent over the same period."
