SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND CLIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF FOOD SECURITY

Abstract

Due to reasons such as the increasing world population, climate change, changes in eating habits, unbalanced nutrition, and food waste, some precautions need to be taken for the world's food future. The world population, which was 8 billion in 2023, is expected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050. If important measures are not taken, food inadequacies, negative environmental impacts, and sustainable human life will be seriously affected in response to this population increase. Full compliance with the European Green Deal targets is required for a sustainable world life. The European Green Deal includes plans to keep the global temperature increase around 1.5 ºC, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% in 2030 compared to 1990, and to become a climate-neutral continent by 2050. It is known that these targets cannot be achieved if current nutrition habits, food waste, land use, water use, and carbon emission habits continue. If habits are not changed, an additional area twice the size of India will be required to feed the growing population by 2050. Considering that food practices constitute 26% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, significant changes need to be made, and measures need to be taken in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and food. Foremost among these is the significant reduction of food-related emissions through changes in methods, inputs, and technology. In addition, it becomes necessary to make important changes such as returning 1/3 of the food currently wasted in the world to human consumption, a significant change in eating habits, an orientation towards plant-based inputs, and a balanced diet.
