If we look at the global food system, we can see the three great food paradoxes of our time: while we have a high number of people with no access to food, a third of the world’s food production is used as animal feed and an increasing percentage of agricultural land is dedicated to the production of biofuels to power automobiles. And faced with approximately one billion people on the Planet who suffer from hunger or malnutrition, around 2.1 billion suffer from the consequences of too much food, increasing the risk of diabetes, tumours and cardiovascular diseases; lastly, each year a third of global food production is wasted, a quantity sufficient to feed nearly a billion people who suffer from hunger or malnutrition. It is clear that in light of these paradoxes, there is a need for urgent reflection on how waste can be reduced, human nutrition can be improved and make the right to food stronger and more secure. At the same time, there is an urgent need to reduce the impact agriculture has on global warming, as well as redesign the entire global agricultural system.
