Description

With a global population estimated to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050 we face a huge challenge in feeding everyone on the planet.

How is that to be achieved?In this brilliantly insightful, one stop guide WIRED journalist Matt Reynolds assesses the limits and drawbacks of current food production and looks at the ways in which they can be tackled.

He considers the potential for lab-grown meat to replace inefficient livestock farming.

He talks to the scientists hoping to perfect more productive and disease-resistant crops.

He explores initiatives to make agriculture less environmentally damaging and to reduce food waste. And he addresses the fundamental question: how do we feed more people while using fewer of the Earth's resources?
