Over the last century
Need of Food
Over the last century, the global population has quadrupled.
In 1915, there were 1.8 billion people in the world.
Today, according to the most recent estimate by the UN, there are 7.3 billion people — and we may reach 9.7 billion by 2050.

are driving up global food demand.
