The estimated population explosion of 9 billion people by 2050 has set a course for food security,with many nations seeking out means and methods to produce more food without disrupting the ecosystem through deforestation and aggressive agricultural practices but by seeking out new innovative ideas to increase food production both animal and plant sources.
The paradigm shift to ensure food security while tackling the climate change concern,will be to incorporate new innovative ideas laced with agritech to produce more food using available spaces and also new technologies to ensure faster harvest and maturity of animals without any adverse effects on man and environment.
The climate change can be tackled with more eco-friendly farming techniques,coupled with more recycling and reuse and reduction of food waste and food loss. Emissions generated from food loss as a result of rotten food is so significant and this can be curbed easily by introduction of new technologies for food preservation,food processing and packaging especially in developing countries where much waste is recorded.
The role of biotech in the climate change and food security more. Agriculture is the key to our global concern of food security and climate change, and the sooner many people buy into innovative agricultural practices the better.
