 We've got some serious news here. To meet the needs of the world's growing population, we are going to need to double food production by 2050. Think about that. Double the world's current food production. And we need to accomplish this in a time of severely limited supplies of fresh water, intense pressures on energy, and increasingly scarce arable land. To make sure no one goes hungry, our food production system is going to need to see an innovation revolution. To address this grand challenge, the winner of this $10 million competition will demonstrate the food production approach that yields the highest output of nutritious and delicious protein at affordable cost from land or sea. The time is now to experiment with new approaches to producing food. We can harness recent advances in protein science and aquaculture, and that's the only way we can close the food gap. We have each been fortunate to be raised in abundance, and now we need to share that with the future. Together, we're going to feed the future.
