Abstract
The last fifty years have witnessed a significant improvement in global food production. However, the required growth rate for food production in the coming years is projected to be higher than ever, in view of the fact that the world’s population, growing at a rate of six million people per month, is likely to plateau at no less than nine billion people by 2050 (Godfray et al. 2010, Science 327: 812–818). This population growth, mainly in Asia, accompanied by the accelerated pace of economic growth in certain Asian countries and sub-Saharan Africa, has already driven the demand for additional food, feed and fuel. Consequently, the first decade of the present century witnessed a deficiency of food grains and unprecedented price rises, such that a significant proportion...
