With the world struggling to feed 8 billion people today, how will we feed 10 billion by 2050? Meeting the nutritional needs of a growing population requires not just a radical increase in food production — almost all of it plant-based — but also a more equitable distribution to ensure that no one is food-insecure. That is a tall order. The current food system is already buckling. About 673 million people go to bed hungry every night and, in 2025, we witnessed two famines (in Gaza and Sudan), each driven by conflict, climate shocks and soaring food prices.
