Can We Feed The Future Before The Well Runs Dry?

Mankind is at a crossroads. We need to increase food production by 70% by 2050 in the face of climate change, increased water and fertiliser demand, declining arable land area, environmental degradation and an affluent and rapidly-growing population with inequality rising quickly. But what about the one billion now living in poverty; many with insufficient money to buy food and go to bed hungry every night yet we waste sufficient food that would feed these and millions more. But are we as individuals prepared to put our shoulder to the wheel and give the poor the opportunity to improve their lot. Or will we continue on the well-worn pathway in an increasingly selfish consumer society rapidly using up our diminishing resources?
