IFPRI’s Director General is participating in the event, “How to Feed the World Without Destroying It” on the World Resources Report: Creating a Sustainable Food Future.

By 2050, nearly 10 billion people will live on the planet. Can we produce enough food sustainably? 

Participants will discuss a five-course menu of solutions to ensure we can feed everyone without increasing emissions, fueling deforestation or exacerbating poverty. Intensive research and modeling examining the nexus of the food system, economic development, and the environment show why each of the 22 items on the menu is important and quantifies how far each solution can get us.
