According to the United Nations, feeding 10 billion people sustainably by 2050 will require an increase in food production by more than 50%. However, climate change, extreme weather events, and growing competition for water resources all threaten our global food supply.
Source: World Resources Institute, Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. A country facing "extreme water stress" means it is using at least 80% of its available water supply.
Water seems abundant on planet Earth, but increasing population, extensive agriculture, and climate change are causing severe regional water scarcity, threatening food security for billions of people.
