Several methods raise or maintain yields while protecting the environment:
What is reducing food waste?Show answer
Around a third of all food is lost or wasted, in storage, transport, markets and homes. Cutting this waste raises the food effectively available without farming any more land, avoiding the environmental costs of producing more. It is one of the largest and cheapest levers for food security.
What are balancing production against limits?Show answer
The overall approach balances producing enough against protecting resources: raise yields sustainably on existing land, waste less, ensure access, and use technology, rather than clearing forests or degrading soil and water. This is how food security can be made to last.
