Introduction of the responsible feeding programme
As the world population continues to grow – to an estimated 9.8 billion people in 2050 – so does the need for access to affordable, safe and healthy food. The World Resources Institute estimates that we will see a 56 percent increase in the global demand for food, and an increase of nearly 70 percent in the demand for animal-based food. This is a major challenge that requires a critical look at the food production chains we are part of.
