Food is as important as energy, as security, as the environment. Everything is linked together.
Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It's not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It's about honesty. It's about identity.
There is no technical reason why we could not feed a world of nine billion people. Hunger is a matter of buying power, not of shortages.
Our food is safer and our diets are more diverse than ever before; production methods are becoming increasingly sustainable, clean and efficient; and we are constantly becoming better at protecting biodiversity.
