Food Security and Agriculture @ Davos


















The world must feed 9 billion people by 2050. How? By 2050, a global population of 9 billion will demand 70% more food than is consumed today. Feeding this expanded population nutritiously and sustainably will require substantial improvements to the global food system – one that provides livelihoods for farmers as well as nutritious products for consumers.

Other challenges include volatility of commodity production and prices, high levels of poverty and hunger among rural and farming communities, and intensifying water scarcity and climate change.
The private sector is striving to develop new markets and sustainable supply chains, respond to evolving consumer demands, manage risks and emerging challenges, and adapt to a resourceconstrained world. This requires a strategic, long-term focus coupled with new ways of working with other stakeholders along the value chain.
