It is predicted that by 2030 the world will need to produce 50 per cent more food and energy, together with 30 per cent more available fresh water, whilst mitigating and adapting to climate change. This threatens to create a ‘perfect storm’ of global events.” John Beddington, UK Government Chief Scient www.agricultureandfoodfordevelopment.org/i ry.
