Over the past twenty years, a number of debates aiming at envisioning a way for our planet to face the challenge of feeding 9 billion people by 2050 have taken place. Economists, sociologists, and political commentators, however, are not that frequently joined by scientists during the debates. Fran ois Ramade's interest lies in the ecological dimension of the future nutritional crisis. He highlights the incompatibility between resources and demographic pressure and demonstrates population growth's impact on climate via greenhouse gas emissions. The author also suggests ideas for circumventing all of the above-mentioned difficulties and for coming up with a new model for sustainable agriculture.
