Abstract
Planet Earth’s natural resources, such as land, freshwater, raw materials etc., have to be shared among an increasing number of people (and farm animals). Moreover, human life expectancy has continuously increased. Consequently, more people consume for longer, leading to fears whether there is enough for all of them, now and in particular in the future.

Planet Earth’s natural resources, such as land, freshwater, raw materials etc., have to be shared among an increasing number of people
Food systems contribute 19-29% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of which agricultural production, including indirect emissions resulting from land-cover change, contributes 80-86% of total food system emissions [2]
Rapid population growth would eventually outstrip agricultural production leading to shortages of food supply and starvation
