It
is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. If done right,
agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and
generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centred rural development and
protecting the environment. Right now, our soils, freshwater, oceans, forests
and biodiversity are being rapidly degraded. Climate change is putting even
more pressure on the resources we depend on, increasing risks associated with
disasters such as droughts and floods. Many rural women and men can no longer
make ends meet on their land, forcing them to migrate to cities in search of
opportunities. A profound change of the global food and agriculture system is
needed if we are to nourish today’s 795 million hungry and the additional 2
billion people expected by 2050. The food and agriculture sector offers key solutions
for development, and is central for hunger and poverty eradication.
