 The way we cultivate and produce food can't continue. Our natural world is struggling to cope with the food demands of a growing population. Global agriculture, a cornerstone of human civilization, must change. We have identified five key challenges to overcome if we are to continue producing food within the limits of our planet and in the shadow of climate change. One third of the world's soil has become degraded. It's nutrients drained of richness. 70% of ground and surface water has also been depleted to keep pace with our food needs. Farming has diminished biodiversity across the globe and is a prime producer of greenhouse gases. And despite producing unprecedented quantities of food, we are wasting over a third. Tackling these challenges will allow humanity to create food in harmony with the planet for a sustaining and secure future.
