Solution to feed 11 billion people

In the world more and more people are hungry, while the world population is growing strongly. At present, there are more than 7 billion people on earth (1 billion of them are short of food) and by 2050 this number is more than 10 billion people.

Scientists at the University of Minnesota Environment Institute have published a scientific paper in the journal 'Environmental Research Letters' , in which they assert if we optimize work. Using existing reserves, we can feed even 11 billion people.

Experts calculate that by 2050, the demand for agricultural products will increase by two times, because the number of people who increase agricultural production does not increase so fast. We will have to abandon the use of plants to produce biofuels and limit the production of some types of meat. This increases the number of products for humans by 70%.

Scientists in their studies analyzed the change in activity areas of 41 of the most common plant species from 1997 to 2003. They also emphasized the need for human energy and supplementation. Data on effectiveness in livestock production and animal feed production.

The research results show that 55% of plant calories are used directly to feed humans. Scientists assess the world can feed 11 billion people; We only need to change some food habits, specifically disseminating the meat-free menu, limiting the livestock industry to be less effective, replacing the use of beef with pork and poultry meat.

The anti-hunger solution in the world that scientists mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg, because each of us can influence improving this situation through good domestic waste management. than. In other words, let us consider the type of food to buy and the amount of food to buy, so that after that there is no need to dump leftovers into the trash, causing waste.
