Title : Sustainable food supply for a global population
Abstract:
We will discuss and highlight the key issues related to food production in general and the growing need for sustainability, both in terms of production itself and the quality and healthiness of food for different cultures and evolving global needs. The discussion on production will include references to fundamental aspects such as soil, water, climate, legal regulations, and nature in general, including elements like trees, among others, as part of the usual debates and developments. We will also cover the next phase, which involves industrial processes, commercial and legal aspects (including key regions such as Europe), and the case of Argentina as an example within Latin America, among others. Then, we will analyze the current state of climate change, its impacts, and key discussions among different groups, including some environmentalists. Additionally, we will address crucial technological aspects such as genetic reserves and biotechnology, all of which impact the global food supply for the present and future. In this context, we will highlight an essential issue—among many others—that is often overlooked or not even considered, but which is crucial for food supply. This serves as an example of the many actions and considerations needed to tackle current challenges. I will include information on some innovative technologies and activities in Argentina that have been recently applied on a large scale, though not widely known, yet useful for addressing these challenges. This is particularly important given the country’s size, land area, production volume, and the significance of its food exports, both direct and potential, to various parts of the world. Of course, in all cases, I hope we remain open to analysis, new ideas, and creative thinking, with one key goal: ensuring that we will have enough quality and healthy food for our growing global population.
