Explore the critical issues surrounding sustainable food production, from historical perspectives to contemporary challenges. This analysis delves into the dynamics of food demand and supply, the role of traditional and ecofarming practices, and how population growth impacts food security. We also examine genetic modifications, environmental effects, and the multi-faceted reasons behind global hunger. By addressing these topics, we aim to uncover sustainable pathways for food production that prioritize both ecological balance and social equity.

Middle Ages Socialstatusmatters • richpeople
Middle Ages • Poor people
Middle Ages • Lesscommonfoods:
Increase in food production after 1945 isnot primarily due to increase in cultivated surface (increase of ca. 25 %), but due to increase in productivity • Extension of irrigated land • Increased use of fertilizers
FUTURE OF FOOD • Effects on the environment • General • Meat industry 85% of soil erosion (US) • One factory raw waste of 12,000 people • Producing one hamburger of 150 grams • 2,42 kilograms of vegetation • 378 liters of water • 161 liters of fossil fuel Source: peta.org
Definition Geneticallymodifiedfoods (or GM foods) arefoodsproducedfromorganismsthathavehadspecificchangesintroducedintotheir DNA usingthemethodsorgeneticengineering. BUT: Foods producedbyusinggeneticallyengineeredproducts (cheese)orfoodproducedfromanimalswhowerefedwith GM cropsare not called GM food.
Facts • 60%- 80% of all foodcomes in contactwith GM Organisms • GM foodisproduced in 25 countries and on 134 mio. hectare
Advantages • Resistance againstverminsandillness • Biggerthennormal morefood
