Abstract
A major goal of the international and development communities is to satisfy food security needs while achieving a smaller environmental footprint. This is becoming harder to reach by the day. In 2050 there will be an estimated 9 billion mouths to feed, compared to almost 7 billion today. Without timely solutions, this will necessitate a 50 percent increase in food production and, of course, all the damage that present-day agricultural practices imply for the environment.
