Secure global food supply
Resilient crops, healthy soils and low-fertilizer farming together could feed the peak population without more land.
Open in the interactive tree →Higher yields, restored soils and less fertilizer loss would make supply robust to heat waves and droughts. The remaining issues would be mainly political: distribution, income and conflict.
What it brings
- No hunger caused by lack of supply
- Farmland spared for nature as yields rise
- Food systems that no longer drive climate and water pollution
