A World Enduring an Agricultural Crisis
The world must start rapidly building controlled environment
agriculture facilities to secure future food production
The UN has found the
world will need at least
50% more food by 2050,
yet 70% of all freshwater
is already dedicated to
agriculture(a)
Unless we change, we will
need two planet Earths to
feed the population
COVID-19 exposed the
unstable nature of
America's food system,
as shortages mounted
across the country (and
world) highlighting our
reliance on uncertain
imports
69% of all fresh vine
crops sold in the U.S. in
2018 were imported,
according to the U.S.
Department of
Agriculture
The world's land and water resources are being exploited at
"unprecedented" rates, a new United Nations report warns,
which combined with climate change is putting dire pressure on
the ability of humanity to feed itself.
