Among the most pressing challenges facing the world today is
feeding a growing global population projected to increase from over 7
billion currently to over 9 billion by 2050. This challenge is
compounded by the additional threats of climate change, increasing water
and land scarcity, soil and land degradation, and a deteriorating
natural resource base, threats that will mainly hurt the world’s poor
and vulnerable, especially those living in rural areas who represent the
vast majority of the at least 805 million hungry.
Featuring the Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations’ (FAO) 14 themes of focus in the post-2015
development agenda, this infographic highlights the powerful
interlinkages that exist between food security and the emerging
priorities of a sustainable development agenda.
