Globálny potravinový systém potrebuje reformu
Potravinové zdroje sa míňajú rýchlejšie, ako sa dokážu obnoviť. Takáto cesta do budúcnosti nie je možná, preto globálny potravinový systém potrebuje reformu. Predpokladá sa nárast cien potravín (a podľa nás veľmi výrazný); ale aj nárast hladujúcich. V nasledujúcej dekáde sa očakáva zvýšenie cien potravín min. o 50%. Súčasné globálne úsilie znížiť počet hladujúcich nie je efektívne. Zvýši sa podiel GM plodín.
A British government report on ‘global food system’ suggested drastic changes in food management to keep feeding the ever growing global population.
The study led by Professor John Beddington, the British government's chief scientific adviser on Global Food and Farming Futures" called for fundamental changes to the global food system on how to feed the planet until 2050.
Governments must take action to change dietary habits, cut waste, reduce subsidies and embrace genetically modified food, said the report.
The study said with the global population forecast to reach nine billion in 40 years' time, radical changes were needed to a system already struggling to feed the existing population.
The global food system is already living beyond its means, consuming resources faster than they can be replenished, it said.
Substantial changes to water and energy use and addressing climate change are needed to bring about sustainability, the report found.
It also warned that there was "no quick fix" to the problems.
