Oplægget til nature + food
Food production systems rely on the richness and diversity of natural ecosystems. One billion people worldwide rely on fish as their primary protein source, while bush meat provides 80% of the protein and fat intake for rural communities in Central Africa. Pollination services are worth an estimated USD 153 billion annually. Agriculture everywhere relies on adequate and well-managed water resources. Fisheries production also relies on healthy marine and freshwater ecosystems – and at the moment is far from sustainable. To secure food supplies, equitable and sustainable use of natural resources is required. Food security is also linked to human security on a broader level.

♦ on land and in the sea?
♦ What impacts are biofuels likely to have on food production and food security?
♦ What is the role of technology in feeding the world?
♦ Can sound environmental management help prevent or reduce conflicts and improve
♦ human security?
