We already know that agricultural activities produce some of our greatest environmental impact. Yet some sort of agriculture is needed in order to produce food because we are beyond the point of hunting and gathering. World population is expected to reached 9.8 billion by the year 2050. It is projected that agricultural production will have to increase by 60% to 70 % above current levels in order to feed that population.  

That places us in a conundrum. If we expand our current agricultural activities we continue to destroy the environment that is vital to our survival. Yet if we do not find a way to increase food production, people will essentially starve. 

If you want to listen to the full story, then enjoy this episode on What’s Cookin’ With Synthetic Meat.

Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
