However, the 1990 world population of 5.5 billion is projected to grow to 10 billion by 2050. Can the future demand for food be satisfied? This book, based on the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium sponsored by the Nutrition Committee and the Trustees of the Rank Prize Funds, addresses the question of how to feed the projected population a generation from now and discusses the challenges this presents.Topics in sustainable agronomy.Oxford scholarship online.Food supplyCongressesAgricultural innovationsCongressesElectronic books.Food supplyAgricultural innovations338.1/9Waterlow J.
