SUSTAINABL­E MENU

-

HOW can the world feed nearly 10 billion people by 2050 in ways that help fight poverty, meet climate goals and reduce environmen­tal pressures? Eat less beef and lamb, level off population growth, cut food waste, limit biofuels and increase fish supply through wild fisheries management and aquacultur­e, among others. This is part of a five-course menu of solutions in a report by the World Resources Institute, a global sustainabi­lity think-tank, this week. It suggests it is possible to produce 56% more food on the same amount of land, while lowering greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds. | Sheree Bega
