ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the research questions one's need to answer in order to achieve a fair and healthy food system, and presents an alternative welfare-to-foodfare system that will assist human transition to a sustainable diet for all. World population is now just over 7 billion, and projected to peak at around 10 billion in 2050 and fall slowly thereafter; the global food system must prepare to feed almost 50 per cent more people than are alive today. Business as usual, right is more technology in the food chain, artificial meat, food from urban skyscraper factories, and left is Dig for Victory, sustainability and local food production. An alternative to lifestyle-changing sustainable food practices is to use technology to boost our food supply, a continuation of the Green Revolution. Green Revolution crops might bring the next revolution, creating strains of rice and grain that can withstand both flooding and drought, if such foods ever gain general public acceptance.
