401 Global challengesGlobal agriculture: growing more from lessOur global challenge:increase agriculturalproductivity by at least70% in 40 years withlimited natural resourcesThe ability of our planet to sustain life is fragile and under increasing stress. Despitesignificant growth in food production over the past 50 years, 805 million people in theworld still suffer from hunger and even more are malnourished. By 2050, the globalfood requirement will increase significantly, driven by a population increase to morethan nine billion and a demand for improved diets, particularly in emerging markets.Agriculture is receiving increasing attention worldwide as government andnon‑government authorities recognize a need to accelerate productivity in order toensure food security and improved nutrition to a growing population. Farmers willneed to produce around 1.4% more grain every year, representing an increase ofapproximately 30% by 2030 and around 70% by 2050.At the same time, responding to changes in climate, using the limited naturalresources in a sustainable way and respecting biodiversity pose additional challengesto achieving increased farm productivity at the required speed.Agriculture holds the key role to tackling these challenges and achieving food securitytoday and in the future. The World Food Summit of 1996 explained that food securityexists when “all people, at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food tomaintain a healthy and active life”. But reaching this goal will not be easy.Undernourished population in 2014 805millionpeopleAsia and the PacificSub-Saharan AfricaLatin America and the CaribbeanNear East and North AfricaDeveloped countriesSource: FAOmillions of people505214373315

Global challenges 017DemandIn parallel, a greater number of people will experience increased wealth and higherpurchasing power, and as a result will increase consumption of processed food,meat, dairy and fish. A Goldman Sachs study estimates that the world’s middleclass – people earning between US 6,000 and US 30,000 a year – will expandby two billion people by 2030. In China alone, the McKinsey Global Institute hasforecasted that the middle class will grow to be 76% of the population by 2025.That means not only more people to feed, but also feeding each person with ahigher calorie and protein diet thereby impacting significantly demand for feed.Since 2005, global meat demand is expected to increase by 40% by 2025. The typeof meat consumed affects the amount of grain demand: one kilogram of beefrequires seven kilograms of grain, whereas pork requires four kilograms and poultrytwo kilograms.Global meat consumptionIndex 1971 100By 2025 global meatdemand to rise 40%;an increase of around100 million tonsSource: er capita consumption20062014PopulationSource: USDASince 2010 global energy demands are expected to increase by approximately 40%by 2030 and energy from biofuels produced from plants is increasingly playing amore important role as an alternative.2014 biofuel production estimate: 29 billion gallonsbillions of gallonsGlobal energy demandsexpected to increase by 40% by ources: US Energy Information Administration (EIA)(1 gallon 3,8 litres)1.12.5Rest ofworld 1.8 1.7Biofuels representaround 5% of globalroad transport fuels
801 Global challengesDemandThe US and Brazil have invested heavily in this area, producing 70% of the world’sbiofuels today.As the US ethanol industry has expanded, the amount of corn used for ethanolproduction has increased. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 established the first-everRenewable Fuels Standard (RFS) in federal law, requiring increasing volumes ofethanol and biodiesel to be blended with the United States fuel supply between2006 and 2012. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amended andincreased the RFS, requiring 13.2 billion gallons of renewable fuel use in 2012,stepping up to 36 billion gallons by 2022. Under the modified RFS, corn‑basedethanol is essentially capped at 15 billion gallons by 2015, while the balance must bederived from advanced biofuels such as cellulosic and non‑corn‑based ethanol.While the future of the RFS remains a political uncertainty in the US, the developmentof new biofuel markets remain promising for the ethanol industry at-large. The lowerprice point and octane benefits of E15 from American motorists and recentcommitments from some 200 countries for GHG reduction at COP21 in Paris signalstrong demand for ethanol globally in years to come.The US Renewable Fuels Standard; bioethanol production billions of gallons15105019992000200120022003Source: Renewable Fuels Association(1 gallon 3,8 litres)20042005200620072008200920102015EUnited States FederalGovernment ethanolmandate: 15 billiongallons by 2015
Global challenges 019DemandSince December 2011 the tax credit on ethanol production (46 cents/gallon) as wellas US import tariffs on foreign bioethanol (54 cents/gallon) have been discontinued.However the US ethanol production and demand have remained resilient. While thefigures in the previous graph are correct at time of publication, the current overallbudget discussions in the United States may result in changes to the RFScommitments and requirements.In Brazil, ethanol from sugar cane produces 35% of the world’s bioethanol and hasreplaced 35% of the gasoline used in light vehicles in the country.

More recently, an increasingpublic debate on competition between food and fuel, aggravated by high crop prices,triggered the European Commission to submit a draft biofuels policy limitingfood-crop based biofuels to 5% of EU transport fuel consumption. The draft stillneeds to be approved by the EU governments.Brazil mandatory biofuelsblend rate planned toreturn to 25% as sugarcane production showssigns of recovery

1201 Global challengesEnvironmental stressTo meet future global grain demand, the FAO estimates suggest that 80% of cropproduction growth by 2050 is expected to come from higher yields, but land availablefor farming will also have to expand by approximately 120 million hectares in developingcountries, mainly Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. These 120 million hectaresshould come primarily from a change in land use, for example pastures to arable landwhich will require significant investment, knowledge transfer and education. However,the area suitable for agriculture is only available in limited geographies.Brazil represents about 60% of this opportunity, with approximately 70–85 millionhectares that could be brought into production in the future without impacting naturalecosystems such as the rainforest.To produce the sameamount of food todaywith yield levels from50 years ago would requireadditional land equivalentin size to the USAAgriculture must meetrising demand for food,feed and fuel withoutstressing natural habitatsBrazil uses of landmillions of hectares100% Total land area8507% Farmed land 6025% Cattle raising 21049% Amazon & Atlantic forest, rivers4209% Cities, roads, infrastructure75 10% Potential additional area for cultivation70 – 85Sources: FAO; WWF; SyngentaThe challenge going forward is to meet demand without stressing natural resources.Number of people fed per hectare of planted land5.64.53.32.319601980200020203.0 billion4.4 billion6.0 billion7.5 billionSource: FAOSTATIn 2020 one hectare willbe required to feed morethan five people comparedto 1960 when it onlyhad to feed two people
Global challenges 0113Environmental stressClimate variability and agricultural riskEvery year, some part of the world suffers from drought which can hamper thegrowth of crops and significantly reduce the level of grain harvested. Today, some80 countries are already suffering from water shortages, and the problem is notconfined to the arid regions of the world. Nations like Brazil, Canada, Colombia,Indonesia, and Russia are all teeming with fresh water – but even they sometimesexperience severe drought.Average yield of corn, soybean and cerealstons per hectare (t/ha)2005-20142014201201Source: USDA23456Water stress is alreadylimiting productivity:around US 40 billionin crop losses in 2012due to drought

The most visible ones were:1) widespread global temperature increase, 2) change in precipitation patterns(increased in some regions and decreased in others) and 3) change of frequencyand intensity of some extreme weather events.Fundamental changes in the patterns of temperature and precipitation could possiblyshift production seasons, pest and disease patterns, and modify the types of cropsgrown in certain areas. A potential decrease in productivity due to hotter and morevariable weather may lead to more erratic production patterns overall. Although therewill be gains in some crops in some regions of the world, the overall impact onagriculture may be negative.Simulations using greenhouse gas emissions models suggest by 2100 an increaseof global average temperature of up to 2.5 C, with more and stronger extremeevents. These changes are expected to drive a further increase in water stress, theacidification of oceans and potentially the risk of extinction of 20–30% of assessedplant and animal species.Drought conditionsfrequently observedin regions with nowater scarcity
