By 2050 global food demand is forecast to be 70% greater than current levels. While this is a daunting challenge, it is only part of the story. At the same time that we face this global food challenge, the natural resources that underpin agricultural production; land, water, energy, and human capacity; are in decline, facing competition from other uses, and becoming more expensive. The new Food Sustainability key program will provide students with a deep understanding of current food systems, the challenges faced by society in achieving food security and food sustainability, and approaches for making the transition to a more secure and sustainable future for food.
