(b) Influencing the supply of, and demand for, food including

The socio economic changes cited included rapid population growth, high food demand, and land and ecological degradation.

(e) Inadequate infrastructure development in agriculture and other related sectors to meet the demand for increased food production

Continued demand for consumer convenience in the preparation of food will stimulate interest in, and demand for, frozen products, and associated products such as boil in the bag, microwave ready, and chilled foods.

Likewise, food scarcity is a growing problem for Asian countries, with crop yields and overall food production growing more slowly than demand. At the same time, rising incomes are altering people s diets, which now include more animal based proteins, further compounding Asia s food challenges.

However, as a result of economic growth and accelerated urban development, the spectacular rise in the demand for food in terms of volume as well as composition has lead to a deterioration in the food trade balance.

In addition, while food hygiene, traceability, and labeling are improving, any amount of negligence when it comes to food safety could have far reaching consequences in the complex and interconnected global food chain. Rising demand for animal products highlights microbiological risks, with animal welfare measures sometimes creating new hazards.

The consequences in terms of the investment to be made are considerable, not to mention the repercussions at the level of the demand for food.

Global demand for energy, raw materials, and food is increasingly influenced by rising demand in China and India, whose combined population is 2.5 billion. Other large and populous emerging countries in Asia and South America are following in these giants footsteps.

I believe that the key factors now are somewhat different from those that drove up food prices in 2008. Growth in global demand for food and feed commodities is still a major part of the story, as are biofuels.

10. There is a need to document these approaches systematically and to evaluate their viability in the light of the pressing demand for increased food production.

There is medium certainty that population growth and increase in food demand will drive an expansion of cultivated land, often at the expense of woodlands and rangelands.

Millions of people simply cannot afford to buy the food that they need, which could still be the case if supply were increased. Fixing the demand side to get nutritious food to the poor particularly to the mothers and children who are most vulnerable is one of the most pressing food security imperatives.

WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA Food prices have in many cases surpassed the peak levels reached in July 2008. At that time, food price increases were attributed to growing global demand for food commodities, a major decline in the value of the US dollar, crop failures in some parts of the world, and biofuels.

For example, monitoring of food supply and demand (through the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System on Food and Agriculture (GIEWS)), health (WHO) and refugee movements and numbers (through databases like the UNHCR REFWORLD) helps warn the humanitarian community of potential crises.

4. Whilst one of the principal focuses was on the expansion of trade in processed food products, which could provide new export opportunities for developing countries, it was recognized that the domestic market also constituted a source of demand for processed food products.

Food food!

Refugees often create an unexpected and massive demand for scarce natural resources such as land, fuel, water, food and shelter materials, with long term implications for their sustainable regeneration.

The global population is set to reach nine billion by 2050, while people in the developing world where nearly all of the population growth will occur are seeking more varied diets. By 2030, demand for animal products will double, with overall food demand rising by 40 .

While France has specialized in consumer goods such as food and pharmaceutical products, Germany is a leading exporter of investment goods. As the current boom in the world economy is largely fueled by investment demand rather consumption demand, only Germany profits from it to full measure.

Metropolitan agriculture in a rapidly urbanizing world can provide high quality produce on small amounts of land. It offers an answer to rising demand for healthy food with minimal environmental side effects.

Only an estimated 74 to 114 million tons of this production will be available for human consumption, although the demand for fish food is forecast to be 110 to 120 million tons.
