Tommorow's population will be larger, heavier and eat more

Food demand is growing as people are getting bigger. Feeding a population of 9 billion in 2050 will require much more food than previously calculated.

"It will be harder to feed 9 billion people in 2050 than it would be today," says Gibran Vita, a Ph.D. candidate at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology 's Industrial Ecology Programme.

According to WWF, the world's greatest environmental problem is the destruction of wildlife and plant habitat. A large part of the devastation is due to the demands of an ever-growing human population. On the other hand, Zero Hunger is the second U.N. Sustainable Development Goal, and its challenge is to meet a global growing food demand.
