Can agritech really transform the future of food?
Feeding the world is getting trickier. The sharp rises in the cost of living that followed the Covid-19 crisis have only been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, known as the breadbasket of Europe. Longer term, the world’s population is predicted to rise to 9.7 billion by 2050 and global warming is transforming traditional patterns of agriculture in ways that are not easy to predict. The sector itself is contributing to the problem, with global emissions from food production expected to rise 60 per cent by 2050.
