• Widely accepted vision for agriculture may be inaccurate, misleading

    'Food production must double by 2050 to feed the world's growing
    population.' This truism has been repeated so often in recent years
    that it has become widely accepted among academics, policymakers and
    farmers, but now researchers are challenging this assertion and
    suggesting a new vision for the future of agriculture. New research
    suggests that production likely will need to increase between 25
    percent and 70 percent to meet 2050 food demand.
