  1. BUSINESS STANDARD Future of food: Feeding 10 bn by 2050 needs genetically changed crops If we want to feed 10 billion people by 2050, in a world beset by rising temperatures and scarcer water provides, we will need to dramatically change the way we produce food. inflated public investment in technologies like genetic engineering is a vital piece of that, according to a report published Wednesday by the World Resources Institute.

  2. Not only should crops be more productive, but the agricultural challenges of climate change—including sickness, pests and periods of both drought and flooding—mean they must be more resilient additionally. “We have to increase yields dramatically, at an good higher rate than we’ve done traditionally,” said Tim Searchinger, lead author of the report. “It’s got to be done by growing smarter.” The Green Revolution of the twentieth century supported nourishment generation utilizing numerous devices, some of which are never again accessible to the vast majority of the present ranchers. Manure use has to a great extent been pushed to the limit, Searchinger stated, and accessible water is running dry. Presently, analysts need to discover better approaches to "become more astute," including using hereditary alteration. Read More
