Growing our food on vertical farms or under radical new lighting systems may be key to ensuring they have enough to eat.
Mankind s awareness of our food supplies has been heightened by massive crop failures due to millennial level floods, protracted droughts,

Consumers the world over now demand to know where their food comes from and how it is produced.

Collectively, these examples show the validity of growing food in the city. Not only could be they be carried out efficiently such as rooftop greenhouses giving much higher yields than outdoor farms
In Cuba, food shortages created organoponicos growing food for city dwellers in spare plots. Although most current vertical farming operations have chosen to specialise in cash crops consisting of leafy green vegetables (easy to grow and much in demand
Urban agriculture has the potential to become so pervasive within our cities that by the year 2050 they may be able to provide its citizens with up to 50%of the food they consume.
#Insect-eating is the future of food Insects may be the food of the future. In Western societies, eating insects is considered disgusting or even primitive.
According to a report released last month by the UN, the benefits of using insects as food is so great that it is high time we convert the other 5 billion people into insect-eaters.

While it s true that Sub-saharan africa as a whole still leads the world in poverty and food insecurity rates,

Even infamously food-insecure Malawi and Ethiopia now grow record amounts of crops and even export surpluses to their neighbors.
Against the new reality, international food agencies that spent decades proclaiming Africa s inevitable doom are being forced to shift their rhetoric.

and by the early 1960s, they supplied 8 percent of the world s tradable food.
A remaining challenge is the equitable distribution of food. Part of the solution lies in improved links between African countries whose postcolonial borders often don t make geographic sense and place artificial barriers between areas of surplus food production and areas of deficit.
In a recent paper Steven Haggblade identifies#oebreadbasket#regions that routinely produce food surpluses and finds that most are close to areas that must import food.
