Special Report: Future of Food #shorts

The last 6 decades have seen huge leaps in agricultural and food processing innovation. Since 1960, the world’s population has more than doubled – yet global food production has more than tripled, while using only 15% more land. That may sound great, but it’s come at a price to both our health and the planet. More than 300 million adults around the world have obesity, which has major effects on human health. The cancer death rate has risen 17% since 1990. And the way we grow, process, and transport food contributes significantly to climate change that may soon overwhelm the planet. #futureoffood #sustainableagriculture #eathealthy #shorts
