The world population growth is a societal concern that is set to impact many industries. With a current population of 7.6 billion people, expected to rise to 8.6 billion by 2030, many are concerned with the economical and mostly environmental impacts of this significant growth. As the population gets richer, more are prone to consume processed foods, meat as well as dairy, which require a larger amount of resources and have a more important environmental footprint. Agriculture and farming being amongst the greatest contributors to global warming, measures have to be adopted in order to solve this matter or minimally reduce its repercussions. Growing on existing lands, using resources more efficiently and reducing food waste already represent a step in the right direction.
