LESS FOOD WASTE

3. THE NEED FOR CROP PRODUCTIVITY TO MEET CONSUMER DEMAND
Food demand grows at a dramatic pace. There is immense pressure to do more with less, and be sustainable.
Must greatly increase production
Grain yield must increase to meet demand
Farming pressures - climate, pests, pricing
Must increase output of arable land
Must sustainably manage all resources
Increased fuel and emissions standards
