Can science and technology feed the world in 2025?

By 2025 the global population will exceed 7 billion. In the interim per capita availability of arable land and irrigation water will go down from year to year while biotic and abiotic stresses expand. Food security, best defined as economic, physical and social access to a balanced diet and safe drinking water will be threatened, with a holistic approach to nutritional and non-nutritional factors needed to achieve success in the eradication of hunger. Science and technology can play a very important role in stimulating and sustaining an Evergreen Revolution leading to long-term increases in productivity without associated ecological harm.
