Green Biz published an op-ed that discussed feeding the world and solving climate change problems. To do both, the world needs to produce 50 percent more food in 2050 compared to 2010 while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by two-thirds. While government funding has an important role to play, a new World Bank report, Revising public agricultural support to mitigate climate change found that agricultural subsidies are doing little to achieve these goals, but have great potential for reform.
