By the end of this year, it is estimated that the world’s population will reach seven billion people, growing to nine billion by 2050. In order to satisfy the world’s food needs, production will need to grow 70-100 percent in the face of environmental changes, a destabilized agri-foods market and continued global economic turmoil. Questions of sustainability, malnutrition, food security and environmental impact are at the forefront of international debates on how we feed a growing planet.

With National Journal and a panel of experts we discussed new paradigms for ensuring a future of both healthy food and healthy planet.

We explored what steps are being taken to protect the environment as it relates to food production, how the public and private sectors are working together to lower the impact of food production on the environment, and how the United States can implement policy and legislation that address these issues.
