With natural resources threatened by depletion and the demand for food increasing, a transition is needed to a more sustainable food production system.
The World Bank estimates global food production will need to rise 50% by 2050. However, against a backdrop of weather volatility, land degradation and growing
risks from pests and diseases, traditional open-field agriculture cannot reliably meet this demand with safe, sustainable and nutritious food. Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) can help us adapt the way we grow food. It uses less water, fertiliser and pesticides than open-field agriculture and typically has a higher yield.
Supporting a new food system
The Sustainable Food Group is focused on encouraging the adoption of a more sustainable food production system, capable of providing nutritious and sustainably produced food for an ever-growing population. The Group includes businesses related to the Controlled Environment Agriculture sector, which typically uses less land, water, fertilisers and pesticides than traditional, open-field methods.
