Global food production is facing several crises – a growing population increases the need for solutions.
Excessive fishing
Excessive fishing has reduced fish populations in our oceans by 50%. Aquaculture increases risk of eutrophication through nutrients, hormones and antibiotics.
Agriculture
40% of arable land globally is subject to degradation impacting productivity by 30%, despite increased use of fertilizer and pesticides.
Logistics
Up to 40% of food is lost between producer and supermarket. Deficient logistics (rotting food) or consumer expectations (perfect fruit) lead to waste.
