Year: 2011

Abstract: The magnitude of the challenge in doubling food production equals all of the six previous efforts in doubling food production in human history. Six contributory approaches from a global-scale perspective are proposed: Slowing the rate of agricultural land expansion into sensitive ecosystems, closing the agricultural yield gaps, raising crop-yield ceilings, improving the efficiency of environmental resource use, and diet modification.
